Alan Michel lives in Methuen Massachusetts with his wife Helene. He has his Master's degree in sculpture and has spent much of his life developing media arts educational opportunities for inner city teenagers in the Greater Boston area. He founded the Bates Arts Center in Boston and directed HOME, Inc., a Boston non-profit for over 40 years until his retirement in the fall of 2017.
Alan's photo paintings continue the theme of change and transition seen in the cycle of renewal in nature, in cities under construction, and as reflected in how we inhabit and interact in our culture . The ebb and flow of life is captured and amplified in over lays and patterns with seasonal light and color providing us with a fresh look at the startling beauty and magnificent complexity that surrounds us.
