Michael VanPatten
Michael studied art during college at Corning Community, SUNY Geneseo and Elmira College. However, he found his first profession in designing & developing computer systems, then in technology sales & marketing, and finally with mergers & acquisitions as a Chief Financial Officer of technology companies.
Michael continued his photography work while travelling the world and captured images in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Europe and around the United States. Upon the sale of his most recent company in 2022, he again started developing more artistic images of his favorite subjects including beaches, boats, islands, waterfalls, marinas, golf courses, cityscapes, interesting skies, entertaining structures, wildlife, and digital surrealism using the help of artificial intelligence (AI).
In early 2022, he started View Finder Arts to share his artistic images. After purchasing SONY, DJI drone and Go Pro cameras, he experimented with landscape, aerial and underwater images. He now uses his computer knowledge and AI to create interesting surrealistic images to challenge the viewers' minds. Some of his images include the Artist hidden as the ViewFinder, a pirate, a reflection, or other characters.
Michael's artwork was chosen by the Governor to be exhibited at the Georgia State Capitol Building. He has exhibited his work in more than six art galleries and virtually in the UK and France.
Michael currently limits his signed limited-edition image sales to 250 signed copies before retiring them. His target markets are professional office spaces, conference facilities, restaurants, hotels, galleries, institutions, and professional collectors.
