Michael Gorman grew up in the Midwest in 1963, shuffling between Texas and Kansas. Or at least that’s the rumor. He was also a cryptologist in the Navy, so they say. One thing that remains true is the artist’s ability to capture lightning in a bottle with his mixed media paintings. A high wire act that is not for the faint of heart. A battle of bravado and insecurity with each painted movement. That cozy place in between is where true art lies.
