Description

Custom-made & Handcrafted Wall Art for Babies & Children By Woodstock Artist Michael Hunt.


Woodstock, New York artist Michael Hunt brings his colorful & cosmic Pop/Folk art to your family. Enjoy his signature style — acrylic paint on naturally fallen, sandblasted redwood — on a portrait of your child, an astrological sign or a "Baby Block" sign.


These handcrafted & totally unique pieces of art are also fantastic baby shower or birthday gifts. See Michael's childhood Halloween picture as an example of the sandblasted portrait. Imagine your favorite photo converted into 3-D wall art.

"Baby Block" signs for your baby or any child in your life. Each piece is sandblasted on naturally fallen California redwood and hand painted by Michael. What a wonderful way for a child to learn colors, animals and the letters in their own name.


Michael's Biography:
Michael was conceived at the Woodstock festival in Bethel, New York and born in 1970 in Honesdale, PA - the birthplace of the American Railroad.

His "Cosmic American" paintings are a hybrid of Pop/Folk art. The work is made from naturally fallen California redwood or Spanish cedar. The redwood is purchased from a mom & pop lumberyard in the Sierras that bids on naturally fallen trees


Want to commemorate a child' s time of birth with an astrological sign? Michael will work with you on specific colors that are meaningful to your family or child. You can also ask him about furniture. Both the Baby Block Signs and the Zodiac signs can become tabletops

Michael has shown his artwork in 45 group exhibits in North America since 1999. A February 2001 exhibit at Zeke's Gallery in Montreal was his first solo show, which was followed by a successful return engagement in summer 2003. In November 2002, Michael's sculpture, "Heavenly Beatles," was auctioned by Sotheby's.com. He was featured on the Wynwood Arts District Tour at Basel Miami in 2004.
