Overview
Michael Harnish (b. 1982) lives and works in Fullerton, CA. Utilizing imagery pulled from various sources including iphone photos, botanical books, fashion magazines, and commercial signage in his native Southern California, Harnish begins his painting process by first making paper collages. These collages then become the inspiration for his paintings—sometimes accurate depictions of the original collage, other times improvisation takes the lead once the brush hits the canvas. Having received his MFA from the Laguna College of Art and Design in 2010, he has continued to practice and show regionally in California.

January 24 - February 24, 2025
MEY is honored to present LA Wildfire Relief, an online exhibition dedicated to raising funds for members of the community impacted by the devastating wildfires across LA County. Featuring work made by LA based artists, this exhibition seeks to give back to the environment that fostered its contents and to the city that we call home.
Made possible by the generous contributions of artists Michael Harnish, Erica Everage, Vita Kari, Gabi Dunayski, and Alex Mihalko, this exhibition provides a unique opportunity to acquire original works of art while contributing to causes providing critical aid in the form of essential supplies, housing, medical care, new infrastructure, and more. 70% of sale proceeds will be donated to the California Community Foundation (CCF) Wildfire Recovery Fund, Baby2Baby, and the LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund.
Ever inspired by the art world and the greater community's support of one another at this time, we hope that art continues to provide solace, inspire initiative, and cultivate togetherness. -
