Biography

Mike Biskup is a contemporary watercolor painter of imaginary landscapes and abstracts living and working in Port Townsend, WA. Born in 1970 in Los Angeles, Mike comes from a family historically rich in artists, poets, and dreamers. As early as he can remember, he was voraciously drawing improvised imaginary worlds with his two older brothers. In 1993, he completed a Bachelor of Fine Art at The University of California at Santa Cruz. There he encountered a richly blended stream of artistic freedom, Zen Buddhism and Native American spiritual consciousness which has shaped his life and work ever since. After graduating, Mike spent a formative week with Buddhist Teacher Thich Nhat Hanh and his respect for Native Eco-Logic and design has only grown. Mike now sees himself as a bringer of visions in the Artist/Shaman tradition elucidated profoundly by Joseph Cambell. His work can be found in collections worldwide, notably that of Oscar-winning actress Patricia Arquette. Gallery affiliations include The Port Townsend Gallery, Northwinds Arts Center, and PTSA Downtown in Port Townsend, The Art Project Bainbridge Island, Face Guts Los Angeles, SaatchiArt.com and MikeBiskup.com
