Michael Parkes™

Michael Parkes™ studied graphic art and painting at the University of Kansas. His unique style evolved very much in isolation, after a period in which he gave up the practice of art altogether and went off to India in search of philosophical illumination.

Parkes is considered America's leading Magic Realist. He has studied deeply in esoteric doctrine of the East and the West, and his imagery is drawn from a range of wisdoms including the Cabalistic and the Tantric, but embodied in
forms from his own imagination.
