About The Artist

Mike Sweeney received his M.F.A. in 1990 from the University of Connecticut. Interested in social contributions and bridges between visual and other forms of literacy, he has engaged dual careers in public libraries and schools while pursuing exhibition opportunities nationally. Having trained on the job in antique furniture restoration in 2015, Mike’s interest in the recombination and synthesis of common materials through craft technique became more central to his process. Exhibiting in the U.S. and online, Mike’s visual work can be seen at https://www.mikesweeneyartist.com or on Instagram @mikesweeneyart.
