Born in Northern California, Michael White is a mixed-media artist living in Eugene, Oregon.

White graduated from the Oregon College of Art & Craft in 2011 with a BFA in Craft and, in addition to his studio practice, works as an assistant preparator at the University of Oregon’s Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.

His pieces have been shown in various contemporary galleries down the West Coast, including Maude Kerns Art Center, Oregon Center for Contemporary Art (Disjecta), Blackfish Gallery, The Hoffman Gallery, Arc Gallery in San Francisco, and The Red Museum in Sacramento. He was featured as the cover artist of "Etymology of a Dream: Art, Writing & Beyond" in 2017 and can be found in published independent magazines such as "Unvarnished Magazine: Liberation, Volume 2." His work has also been featured on prominent art blogs and social media platforms, including New American Paintings.

In his latest series "Remnants," White delves into the intricate relationship between trauma and grief, employing evocative personal imagery and found photographs. Drawing from personal encounters with mortality during his youth, White unearths the familiar remnants of distant experiences ingrained in our collective memory, forging connections to the past. His artwork captures fading snapshots of memory, reminding us of forgotten places and individuals who endure solely in recollection. Through his art, he prompts contemplation on the inevitability of death and the enduring ties we have to our personal histories.
