Abstract painter and conceptual artist Mike Shaffer creates sweeping fields of energetic commmotion. His style is recognizable and visionary.

He works he says, "...with the kind of random order found in nature—the way fractals are orderly presentations of chaotic events—the way design motifs are formed when twigs and leaves come to rest on the forest floor—the way birds fly in flocks except the one straggling behind"

The line paintings are vivid starry skies, sunrise reflections in a quiet pool—paths made by strange creatures in the desert sand.

With acrylic polymers and canvas Shaffer helps us feel the passion and energy of the human spirit as we journey through the sparkle of the cosmos.
