MY ART CAREER

ARTIST BIO
MICHAEL STEVEN ORTIZ
Michael graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2014 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in painting. Michael started as a full-time professional artist working out of his studio in San Antonio. In 2023, Michael relocated his studio to Colorado Springs, Colorado.He enjoys a bright and bold color pallet with a unique approach to traditional subject matter. His goal while producing each piece is to have fun and let loose. By using a variety of tools he is able to allow his inner child freedom on the canvas. The energetic mark making is the most fun and expressive approach to the painting process. He uses this unique therapy to tell his stories in a new light. He enjoys large scale paintings, murals, and any art related activities.
Commission pieces are available upon request.
