Kaleidoscope
Luckily, I have led a multi-faceted life which is reflected in the art I’ve made over five decades. Exploring a number of recurring themes in more than one medium and style has kept me challenged.
The subject matter varies: natural objects, the dress as visual metaphor, the human body, landscapes. I have used painting, fiber art, cast paper sculptures, and one-of-a-kind books. It all goes into making a kaleidoscopic display. I aim to capture the underlying energy inherent in all things, animate and inanimate.
My work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in the USA, Europe and Asia. I have an MFA from the University of MN. I’ve taught a fair amount; my students have ranged from age 8 to 80. I am grateful for having had a long life enriched by art.

Artist Bio – Michael Sweere
Michael Sweere b. 1965-
Michael Sweere was born and raised in Owatonna, Minnesota. After graduating from Owatonna High School, Michael received a degree in Commercial Art from Mankato Technical Institute. He moved to Minneapolis and began a long career in advertising, working in print, radio and television. Additionally, he attended classes at the Hermann-Bougie Atelier (Minneapolis) where he further developed his fine arts skills in drawing and painting.
In 2005, he was able to start his own business – The Michael Sweere Mosaic Company. Focusing on creating large-scale mosaic and art installations from recycled materials, his work can be seen in numerous locations, including airports, health-care facilities, libraries, schools and sporting stadiums.
He lives in Northfield, Minnesota with his wife Carole and their amazing dog, Tulip.
