Michael Branca
Michael Branca is a contemporary Maine artist. His preferred media and subject matter span a broad spectrum, from large fantastical oil paintings to en plein air landscapes to small conceptual assemblages. His work often addresses the human feeling of disconnectedness with nature, and attempts to find beauty, joy and humor in the unexpected, mundane and common. Branca graduated from Colby College and attended the Temple University program in Rome. He has been awarded residencies at the Skowhegan School, Vermont Studio Center and Monhegan's Carina House, and is currently the Artist in Residence at Southern Maine Community College. His work shows regularly in prominant and obscure galleries and museums throughout Maine and beyond.
