“Courage”
Unveiled

She is all that I dreamed of and more. It was a struggle, it was painful both emotionally and physically, and it was a celebration of the lives of Muzzy and Connie.

When I finished, I took a long walk on the beach in the sun and the warmth and the solitude. The only sounds were those of the gently rolling surf and the seagulls.

When I retuned to the house, I sat on the deck, looked out over the sand and water, smoked a cigar I have been saving for this moment, drank a scotch from a crystal glass and said a prayer of thanks to Muzzy and Connie.

Thanks for the honor of knowing them and their gentle hands guiding mine. Thanks for their lives that have touched and enriched others. Thanks for the opportunity to help their spirit and courage live on and help others.

We all thank you both for “Courage”.

Contact us to become one of the exclusive art galleries exhibiting Michael Tieman's fine paintings & sculptures.

Artists Gallerie is the Fine Art Publishing, Distribution and Marketing Company representing the art work of artist/designer Michael Tieman.

As Michael Tieman sees it, “The role of an artist from the dawn of time has been as a visual storyteller. The stories my paintings and sculptures tell are ones of confidence, strength, passion, playful sophistication and the celebration of life.”

Tieman has sketched and painted since childhood and has spent almost four decades as a working artist, both as a graphic designer and a fine artist. Following the encouragement of a friend and gallery owner, Michael recently expanded his talents into sculptures cast in bronze. Tieman's sculptures are unique in that they are a combination of traditional figurative sculpture and his Impressionistic painting style. “I create my bronze sculpture as a three dimensional painting; texture is the impasto brushstroke, color is the play of light and shadows across the surfaces, and detail is the free style movement of the impressionist style.”
