Art For Land's Sake: Michael Bare

Michael Bare is a graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art where he studied fine arts. He has taught art in Baltimore County Public Schools for 34 years and is now an instructor at Towson University.

His paintings have been exhibited in Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston and New York, and in the collection of Stevenson University.

I paint places I feel deeply in tune with, the same places over and over. I begin plein air and finish in the studio. I am searching for something beyond mere replication, where the painting connects on a personal level.
