“Michael Stearns creates acrylic paintings of great vibrancy. His work is allusive and concrete, reverent like a meadow, a fragrance and a thing, a memory and a snapshot” – James Scarborough, art critic

Please join me for a very personal exhibition of my work.

Color brings power, intensity, and joy to life but it does not define us.

For years I have been interested in the human genome and genetic variations, and recently science has discovered that neither race nor ethnicity is detectable in the human genome. The completion of the human genome project is one of the most important scientific developments in history and over the years the majority of my work has focused increasingly on the exploration and expression of our shared human DNA.
