"Bringing the Museum to You"

By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of two 12-piece Exhibitions of works by American contemporary Impressionist painter Mike Rangner (born 1953 in Portland, Oregon).

As an Oregon native, Mike has enjoyed a successful career as a professional illustrator in the Portland area for more than 20 years. His professional portfolio includes a diverse list of clients including Avia, Standard Insurance, Nike, the Oregon Zoo, as well as Northland Publishing and McGraw-Hill Publishers.
 

Mike's professional accomplishments include awards and honors from service organizations including the Oregon Food Bank, Goodwill Industries, and The National Box Association for his product design work. In 2006 he illustrated the children’s book “The Seed and The Giant Saguaro,” which was recognized by then-Governor of the State of Arizona Janet Napolitano, and picked for the state's 1st Grade Book reading program.  
 

A recent move to the Mid-Willamette Valley has allowed Mike to further strengthen his love of plein air and studio painting by capturing the vast and diverse Oregon landscape that lies one hour in each direction of his home and studio in beautiful Northwest Albany. Mike's diverse body of work includes pieces featuring landscapes across the Pacific Northwest including the Columbia River Gorge, Eastern Oregon, Coastal scenery and the rich farmlands of the Mid-Willamette Valley.
