Michael J Strang’s professional painting career spans a period of 40 years from 1968, before he went to art school, to 2009.

In a remarkable career that has produced literally thousands of oil paintings and drawings, Michael has embraced countless subjects within the spectrum of landscapes - natural and man-made, seascapes, floral arrangements, flowering fields and hedgerows, still-life and portraits.

At the latest count, his work has been shown in over 90 public and private galleries and museums, a total that includes the Tate St Ives, the Royal Academy, galleries in London’s Bond Street, Cork Street and Albermarle Street and, famously, The Gallery at Virginia Water owned and run by novelist and film director, Bryan Forbes.

As well as in private collections all over the world, Michael Strang paintings may be found in notable public collections, including Penlee House, Penzance; Falmouth Art Gallery; Cornwall County Council; St Martin’s in the Fields, London; and Surrey University. And he has donated many works to help raise funds for a range of charities and restoration funds.

Michael is a passionate and energetic painter for whom no day is complete without the application of paint to canvas or panel. He shares his time between West Cornwall, Surrey and Wales.*
