Biography & Curriculum Vitae
Michael Snodgrass is a Santa Fe based artist whose work is best described as Abstract Primitive with a nod to the Neo-Expressionists of 1980’s New York. His emotionally charged work is included in the permanent collection of the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, California, the collection of the Carmel Art Institute as well as many private and corporate collections across the United States and Europe.
His work is readily identifiable by the bold use of color, wild, unruly surfaces and primitive figures that disturb or amuse.
