Original Oil Paintings by a Nationally Recognized California Artist
Michael Stewart Hansen's work has been exhibited at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and is represented by SLO Gallery (San Luis Obispo) and Coast Gallery (Big Sur). Each painting is an original oil on canvas, created entirely by hand in his California studio.
"Anything that makes me stop and wish I could capture that moment in time becomes my next painting."
The Privilege of Collecting Directly From the Artist
Acquiring an original painting should be more than a transaction — it should be the acquisition of something singular: a work created by hand, carrying the vision and story that can never be replicated.
Every painting is an original oil on canvas, personally created in my studio. When you acquire a work directly, you deal with the artist himself — not a gallery representative or intermediary. For the serious collector, provenance begins with knowing exactly where a work came from, and exactly who created it.
While select pieces are available through SLO Gallery and Coast Gallery Big Sur, works acquired directly from the studio carry a personal connection few collectors ever have access to: the story behind the piece, its history, and a direct relationship with the artist himself.
Your collection. My art. A direct connection.
