Mike Brown is an entirely self-taught artist, who grew up in Hawkinsville, Georgia. Many of
his ideas for painting are inspired by memories of those bygone days. While extensive
travels around the globe provided an abundance of inspiration for Mike Brown’s artistic
creations, his profoundest influences remain his love for animals and the splendor of the
scenery that surrounds him.
Currently residing in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Mike Brown`s Cherokee
Indian heritage infuses his paintings with reverence for every form of life. In a masterful
level of photorealism, his tranquil landscapes capture the harmony between humans and
nature or serve as backgrounds for intrinsically detailed wildlife portraits that fascinate and
amaze the observer.
Mike Brown’s paintings can be found in many collections, among them the Georgia
Governor’s mansion. Furthermore in 1984 his artwork has been published in the book
“Georgia - A State of Beauty”, depicting some of the most charming and unique places of
the “Old South”.
After founding and running a successful 3D-visualization company for over 18 years, Mike
Brown returned to his easel in 2009 and began entering and winning many renowned
national and international wildlife art competitions.
“The ability to preserve the beauty of all living things in nature’s never-ending circle of life
through this precious gift of artistic talent is humbling in regards to the abundance of awe-
inspiring creations of Mother Earth.” Mike Brown
