Michael Duane, a lifelong Kansan, grew up in suburban Overland Park. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts/Design from the University of Kansas in 1980. Over the years, he has created many kinds of art, from caricatures in pen and ink to city scenes in
watercolor. Several years ago he took up pastels exclusively and combined his passion for art with a lifelong fascination with the weather. When he paints subject matter as diverse as an oncoming thunderstorm or a simple far-off cloud, he likes to intensify the
scene, creating drama by using sharp contrasts between colors and sometimes between styles. Just this year, Michael became a Signature Member of the Mid America Pastel Society.
