Depicting ordinary moments in extraordinary ways, Flohr’s work is an intellectually artistic mastery of color, perspective, technique and vision. Blazing a trail that is sure to influence the eyes of fine art collectors around the world, his work is also sure to impact other emerging artists for years to come. Michael Flohr is a young California artist, currently living and working in San Diego.

Recognizing his artistic aptitude at a very early age, Flohr’s parents enrolled him in his first art class at the age of five. His family’s perpetual encouragement and conviction in his talents led him to pursue a degree at the San Francisco Academy of Art College. At the academy, he was able to experiment with all types of media and artistic styles. In 1999, Flohr’s propensity for illustration was recognized by his acceptance into New York’s Society of Illustrators, where he joined the ranks of legendary predecessors such as Norman Rockwell, Maxfield Parrish and N.C. Wyeth. He was awarded the Herman Lambert scholarship by the Society in the following year. He graduated from the Academy of Art in 2000 and was honored with Best of Show for his painting titled, Irish Coffee at the Academies spring exhibition that same year. Shortly thereafter, three of Flohr’s paintings were selected for exhibition at the de Young Museum, San Francisco’s oldest public museum. There, his work hung in the company of other master painters including one of his most revered inspirations, Claude Monet.
