Michael Coughlin Art

After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Alfred University and a Master of Arts from SUNY Albany, I traveled the country as both artist and teacher. That journey brought me to the Big Island of Hawaii, where I built an off-grid studio and home amid the island’s powerful landscape. Since 2020, I’ve painted here full-time, immersed in inspiration and devoted to sharing the romance of the arts through my creations.

Beyond art, I enjoy many interests. I love chess, though my rating suggests my mind suits abstract art better than tactics. Swimming has also been a lifelong pursuit, both as a competitor and a coach. My favorite book, The Urantia Book, is a spiritual revelation that deeply shapes my life and service to others.

My work is driven by originality, technical skill, and wild expression. Thanks for taking the time to connect with me through my art and feel free to reach out for questions or comments.
