Michael Gullberg

Michael Gullberg has been living in Los Angeles for the past 25 years and has been a resident of Mount Washington for the past ten years.  Upon arriving in Los Angeles from Pennsylvania in 1981, he began a journey through various art forms -improvisational comedy, acting, writing, filmmaking, drawing, and then painting.  They have all added different elements to his creative work.

He has been painting for over 16 years now and it has become his main focus.  He is currently combining woodworking with his abstract spiritual imagery by finishing a painting with his own custom made wood frames.  The organic shapes and colors of his paintings combine well with the grain and color of the many varieties of soft and hardwoods that he uses.

Michael also does mural commissions, indoors and outdoors.  He is always looking for a large open space to create his visions on a larger scale.
