Mike Ward’s global travels allow him to explore the ‘narrative’ which subsequently influences his abstract paintings. Yet, he is equally inspired by the landscapes and seascapes of Yorkshire and the wider British Isles which results in exciting visual studies of the effects of light and movement.
Narratives, abstracts, landscapes and seascapes - Mike Ward’s art is certainly prolific and adept in terms of skill, technique, and media. He has enjoyed a 40-year career as a graphic designer, commercial artist, university art lecturer and ultimately fine artist. His work is continually vibrant and innovative today.
