Michael Banks
Micheal Banks creates paintings out of his active brain and mighty imagination.

Always playing with dimension and memory, disparate symbols appear out of nowhere, adding a mysterious element to each of his works of art. We have recently received a few new paintings…click here to see all of his work> Michael Banks
