Groeblacher, Michaela, "Global Warming" acrylic on canvas, signed in lower left, good condition, canvas size: 48 x 24 inches.Growing up in Austria, nature was my place. Eventually I became aphysical therapist. For ten years I loved my patients and they loved me back.My family?s move to the USA allowed (forced) me to become a full-timemother. We settled in McPherson, Kansas. My PT education got lost in themove, while my love for art and gardening led me to a degree in landscapedesign. By that time we had moved to Seattle, Washington. Life and work as alandscape designer in the Pacific Northwest felt like heaven on earth ? untilwe moved again ? back to McPherson.In 2005, by then 45 years old, I fulfilled my lifelong dream andgraduated from McPherson College with a bachelor?s degree in studio arts,concentrating in ceramics and painting. Now, in my third life, I combine myexperience and my interest in the human psyche with both of my artistic lovesby sculpting the human figure from clay and subsequently finishing thesculptures in a painterly manner. After receiving my MFA from Fort HaysState University, I now teach art at McPherson College.My work has been shown in numerous galleries and museumsthroughout the United States in group, solo and juried shows and has receivedmany awards. It is also part of multiple museums, private and corporatecollections throughout the USA, Austria, and Germany.
