About the Poster Artist
James Michael Nemnich

Born in 1957, James Michael Nemnich presently resides in Indialantic, Florida and has so since 1963.  Being a longtime Floridian, his local environment has heavily influenced his unique artistic style. Evolving from his close proximity to the ocean, Mike’s work reflects his many travels throughout the world.  Australia, Japan, Indonesia, Mexico and Europe are a few of the destinations visited. He continues to travel to find inspiration for his fine art.

“Raised on Florida’s east central coast, I have used my travels throughout the world as a source of inspiration in my art.  My work is emotional expressions of my life experiences,” Mike said. “My oil pastel artwork is comprised of building thick layers of color on handmade cotton paper. After stacking or blending the colors, I scratch out layers to expose the underlying colors.  I add designs, highlights and words to achieve the desired image. These are one of kind pieces done exclusively by me.”

Mike’s artwork is in many private and corporate collections, including Walt Disney World Corporation, University of Michigan School of Public Health, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Illinois, and Aspect Energy LLC.  He has received many awards for his work.  His pieces have been displayed in gallery and museum shows. Mike has displayed his work at the B-Gallery in Tokyo, Japan in 2009, and has showed at the Yokohoma International Open Air Art Fair 2009 and 2011.

Today Mike’s artistic endeavors remain dedicated to developing his original imaginative style. For more information, visit his website at www.nemnichart.com/
