Inspired by the ever-changing light and colors found in nature, ML Coleman seeks to convey the essence of his subject utilizing a painterly form of realism that is fresh, vibrant and energetic. He strives to make each painting come to life with a spirit of its own and in turn, evoke an emotional response in the viewer.

ML Coleman's keen perception and unique vision developed while growing up in Yellowstone Park where his father was a ranger. Seven years old and armed with a set of oil paints (a gift from his grandmother) he set out to paint the falls of Yellowstone's Grand Canyon! His artistic endeavors continued through high school but then college, military service and eight years with an international accounting firm intervened. Residing now in Sedona, Arizona for more than twenty years, he has traveled throughout much of North America and extensively in Europe, seeking the beauty that stirs his imagination and is portrayed on his magnificent canvases.

His work has been included in numerous museum and gallery shows and can be found in prestigious private and corporate collections worldwide including Northern Natural Gas; Web Trend Graphics; Author JA Jance; Actress Sean Young; and Inga Tours, to name a few. Numerous articles in national magazines and listings in major reference books including Marquis' Who's Who In American Art and Who's Who In America have also recognized these compelling and memorable works of art!

"My goal as an artist is to create an awareness and reminder of the beauty that surrounds us."
