The Open Gallery click thumbnail for full size image David Michael Badgley David Michael Badgley was born in Portland, Oregon in 1952 and presently lives in Newbury Park, California. He writes, "I have no label for my style or technique except to say that it's minimal and essential. My interest is to explore the textures, colors and values of the external and internal worlds as well as their inherent spirituality. I studied formally with several fine instructors from the late 70's through the early 80's and have been creating art for as long as I can remember. Discovering virtual painting on the computer has allowed me to become prolific with my art for the first time in my life as an artist."
