Video- Artist/Surfer Micaiah Hardison

Micaiah Hardison doing his thing in the water and with his paint brush. I've known Micaiah for about 15 years now. When I met him he was an 18 year old self taught painter and beach rat. Always either painting or in the water. I love to see how things don't change even after a few kids. He is an amazing artist. His art just gets better over time. I have a number of his pieces and they are my favorite things to look at when I get up in the morning. Thank you Micaiah for the years of visual enjoyment!

Local Surf Art - by Micaiah Hardison

My friend Micaiah has come back to what he loves. Wave Art.

Micaiah is one of my favorite local artists. When I was just out of collage and started living on my own I met him when he was 18 and bought my first painting from him a year or two later. He was completely self taught and insanely talented. My first painting was of Pipeline from the water. I've featured it here before. It's one of my most loved possessions. Everyday I look at that painting and get lost in it.

Over the last 13 years Micaiah has grown up, traveled the world, gotten married, got a dog, had kids, lived in other countries and has now landed back in our neck of the woods again.

In the last 5 years he took off from doing wave art to study more traditional techniques of figure, portrait, still life and landscape painting. His work has been amazing but, I have admit, I've been missing his wave paintings.

Now he is back at it again and with a purpose. Micaiah always has something cool up his sleeve and now he is focused on the water again and doing paintings like these. These two are from the last couple of swells. He shoots photos on good days to help him capture the lighting and specific shape of a typical spot and then selects his own color from memory. They are beautiful.

Micaiah, I'm so stoked you are back at it again, filling peoples spaces with amazing wave goodness. The world is a better place.

Look for more work by Micaiah. He will be in the water this year doing plenty of "Research".  Check out his site or contact him for when he displays. www.MicaiahHardison.com

Local Artist Micaiah Hardison

When I first moved to Leucadia in 96' my friend lived on Neptune across the street from an 18 year old kid that was an amazing artist. His name was Micaiah Hardison and he grew up on the bluff and in the water of Leucadia. He surfed and body boarded and was good at it all. He was also a completely self taught artist. I was always impressed by him. I bought my first painting from him in 99'. Since then acquired a few more. My favorite two are the images above. Pipe from the water (3.25' x 4.25') and an image of Grandview from Seabluff (4' x 8'). He is still painting today. Check lout his site www.micaiah.net
