Mike Shine

Mike Shine lives and paints in Bolinas, California. He typically uses driftwood and found objects to create works that invite (or even require) the observer to handle and operate them, something he considers contrary to the sterile “please don't touch” mentality of many institutions. In the last year, Shine has been featured in The Museum of Craft and Folk Art's Indoor/Outdoor exhibit and SFMOMA's temporary outdoor installation, The Mike Shine Show.
