After attending
the University of Texas Art School and graduating from Stephen F. Austin State University, Michael joined the US Army, where he served as an infantryman during the worst years of the Vietnam War. It was
there that he was wounded in action in an enemy ambush. That, along with other experiences in Vietnam, burned a deep sensitivity into his nature which is vividly expressed in his works of art today.
Interest in heroic historical America, coupled with desire for realism, lead to the
development of his moving and powerful style. He dramatically stresses the qualities of movement and detail and because of his love for American history - he is careful to portray every detail with
precise authenticity . Michael believes that each sculpture should give the viewer the sensation that he has actually witnessed an event in history. It is equally important to him to pay tribute to the
significant people and events that have shaped the unique heritage of our country.
As a professional fine artist, Michael has established a considerable reputation in the art
world. His sculptures have been produced and sold by various nationally known corporations, fine art galleries, museums, heads of state, military institutions and distributed throughout the US and many
foreign countries to thousands of collectors. His range of talent has been proven by being able to sculpt in scales from miniature to monumental with consistent skill and drama.
Michael Boyett guarantees that each sculpture from his studio is an excellent piece of
original fine art, bearing his signature, copyright date, along with the limited edition number on each work of art. All sculptures are made in the USA. |
