Wayne F. Michaud is an artist with a small studio based in Citrus Heights (Sacramento County), California, which he relocated to in 2017 after many years in Vermont (hence the name "Green Mountain"). He has been an artist all his life - a traditional fine artist, muralist, illustrator and digital graphic designer. He has a BFA degree from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
Wayne has an extensive artist's resumé. As a fine artist, he has painted landscape oil scenes and watercolor botanicals, been represented in art galleries and appeared in several art shows, garnering a Grand Award. His contemporary and trompe l'eoil murals have graced corporate, commercial and residential spaces. As an illustrator he has created works in oils, watercolor, acrylics, ink and digitally. Many of Wayne's illustrations have been published in magazines and books. As a graphic designer he has created newspaper and magazine ads and interior page layouts for books.
Wayne's love for pets, including having owned Boston Terriers, West Highland White Terriers, a French Bulldog, and currently Mika, a Shih Tzu mix rescue, led him to found his most recent artists passion, Green Mountain Pet Portraits, in 2007.

Way, way before Green Mountain Pet Portraits, Wayne painted oil portraits of one of his Boston Terriers, named "Snappy", when he was around 12 years old.
Wayne's favorite breed is the Boston Terrier, having lived with eight of them, so far! He's also partial to Westies, having had three of them.
