Monthly Artist Highlight - May 2012

Highlight of the month - May 2012

Born in Dover, Delaware, in 1957, Michael Pavlovsky began his lifelong pursuit as a student of painting and sculpture under Patrick Carter in 1972. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Landscape Architecture from Texas A & M University in 1982 and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of North Texas in 1990.

Michael’s work has been included in over ninety juried and invitational exhibitions. His most notable work was a commission to create a sculpture to serve as the central metaphor for the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee. In 1993, Michael was commissioned by the City of Dallas to create a site-specific sculpture for the Middle Five-Mile Creek Art Project for which he later received an Urban Design Award from the City of Dallas Urban Design Committee. Currently, Michael is at work on several projects in his Fort Worth studio.

 The Stark Galleries at Texas A&M has one of the original pieces of his artwork in its collection.
