Artist Michael Letzig, Water, Landscape, and Michael Lyons Wier Galleries Art Bazaar

Born in 1967 in Kansas City, Mo., Michael Letzig graduated with a B.F.A. in Design from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1989. As an artist and designer, Michael’s career spans 20 years and has covered an array of industries from home décor to stationery and gifts to visual merchandising and has served in numerous capacities as contractor and creative director.In the late eighties, Letzig became a board member of the progressive artist cooperative “Theme”, mounting spontaneous “pop-up” exhibitions/installations around the country. In 1994, an opportunity as Art Director for a small design company brought Letzig east, fulfilling a life-long dream to live in New York City. A year later he established his own illustration licensing studio and for the next ten years created works for a wide range of products.The events of Sept. 11th marked an indelible chapter in Letzig’s artistic career. That day ignited a fierce desire to create works that celebrate the abundant beauty in the natural world that remains. He has since immersed himself fully into canvas landscape paintings and murals. A staunch environmentalist, Letzig’s work calls attention to the relevance of nature and mans relationship to it. As a result of his determination, his work is sought after by collectors along the east coast. His large scale mural installations can be seen in public spaces all over New York City, and over seas.
