Terroir; A Sense of Place in Watercolor
May 7-26
Reception: May 7 @ 5:00PM
Born and raised in Saranac Lake, Michael Burpoe is a watercolorist who enjoys creating plein air & Adirondack lifestyle paintings.
Michael began watercolor painting in earnest in 2020 as a form of escapism from the stress and loneliness of living alone during the pandemic.
His favorite things to paint are the people that make up the culture of the Adirondacks.
In January of 2025, Michael joined the Saranac Lake based Adirondack Artists Guild, where he maintains an installation of his work.
Tupper Arts feels privileged to provide a home for this talented young artist. He creates an exhilarating sense of movement in his landscapes and absorbing complexities and every brushstroke.
