Mike Wright Paintings

b. 1959

Mike Wright was born in 1959 in Northern California. He is a painter of landscapes and architectural subjects in watercolor, acrylic and oil. His landscapes reflect a lifelong love of the outdoors and a deep connection with the desert. Wright is an avid backpacker, hiker and long-distance runner and has taken many trips to the Southwest to paint plein air. His major art influences include Maynard Dixon and Jimmy Swinnerton. Wright's mother was a college art teacher, so he was exposed to good art and learned theory and technique from an early age. He earned a BA from Sacramento State University in 1983. Wright lives in Santa Cruz, California, and travels every year to paint the desert.
