Maness is widely collected, grandly generous, and artistically brilliant. From the age of eight, Michael Patrick Maness has been drawing or writing something for somebody. From limited edition posters to album covers for “Warner Brothers,” and “BNA” records, for over 30 years he has been in the business of art, advertising, and marketing. Michael has contributed stories and illustrations to regional and national magazines and has also worked for many Fortune 500 companies.
 

Since 1997 Michael has battled Lymphoma and Bone Marrow cancer. He is currently undergoing therapy to keep his cancer in remission. Michael’s brush with death has given him a new attitude and perspective on life. He states, “I used to view the world in black and white. Now because of the changes in my life, I see the world through a kaleidoscope. I see the hues that make-up a color. I choose a subject to paint based on the mood I can create with my pallet. I try to pick a story to paint, rather than a moment passing through time.”
