Mike Svob travelled extensively from his native Ontario before settling in British Columbia. A contemporary Westcoast impressionist, Mike works in watercolour, acrylic and oil. Educated at Niagara College and the University of Western Ontario, Mike has learned to weave his visions into a wide range of boldly designed and executed paintings.
A painter in the impressionist style, Mike currently works primarily in the medium of oil, and is a romantic, impassioned by the visual world surrounding us. The power and movement of light and colour is the essence of his work.
To date, Mike is the youngest member ever to have been honoured with senior status in the Federation of Canadian Artists and is a Past President of this society. Mike has been commissioned to produce 20 large-scale mural projects both in Canada and the USA. He is a contributing author to the following books �The Artist�s Illustrated Encyclopaedia� and �Design and Composition Secrets of Professional Artists�. In September 2002, a new book authored by Mike entitled �Painted Red Hot Landscapes that Sell!� was published by International Artist Publications.
