Michael Boerding

Michael Boerding lives in Los Lunas.  He moved here in 2007 from St Louis, Missouri, where he lived his whole life.
“I was always interested in drawing, and it wasn’t until High School that I became enamored with oil painting.  I had the same art teacher in Junior High and High School and she took me under her wing and gave me confidence in my talent.  She helped me get into Kansas City Art Institute.”
“Life intruded on my passion and I lost confidence in my ability, so I stopped painting altogether.  Then I met my wife and she encouraged the talent she saw in me and I resumed painting about 5 years ago.”
“I have always been interested in Bold colors and dark shadows and this dichotomy found in nature.  I find florals interesting because of the multitude of shadows and colors there are to work with.”
“I look for abstract in the realistic.
