About the Artwork of Michael "GrayWolf" Ballew
GrayWolf Studio

O'SIYO (welcome) friends... SPIRITS AND COLORS are two of the main traits that define my art. I seek to celebrate and honor nature and convey its spirit within each piece. I spend a great deal of time listening to nature and learning the lessons it has to teach. As a result, I look for signs and "spirits" in my subjects and allow them to guide me along the way. The end goal – to show ordinary objects in extraordinary ways.

My Art...

It's a philosophy... It's a passion... It's a desire... It's an appreciation of the past and a connection with the future...

Art is an expression that can break down barriers that otherwise separate.

Art communicates when all else fails.
