Prints Donated to Support the Rollins College Swim Team

March 5th, 2012

SUPPORT A ROLLINS COLLEGE SWIMMER!

Rollins College is the only four year institution offering NCAA swimming in the Orlando area, despite swimming being one of the most popular sports in Florida.  As a private college not receiving state support, we are entirely tuition driven.  A scholarship cannot be just in name only- there has to be hard dollars for every student. 

With that in mind, leading area swimmers such as Dr. Jack Beattie, Lucky Meisenheimer, and Scott Weiss have been supporting our program for years.  We have developed an endowment, which pays scholarship money to incoming swimmers, with a commitment to local and US swimmers first.

The money you spend to own these great sporting works of art [donated by Scott Weiss] will go directly into that endowment, and eventually help a swimmer get a Rollins education.  Thank you for your support.

– Richard P. Morris, Ed.D.
 Director of Health Education and Swimming Coach, Rollins College

Proceeds from the sale of the Michael Bryan serigraphs go toward providing SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS for incoming Rollins College swimmers.

 

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

MICHAEL BRYAN

Michael Bryan was born in 1947 in Chicago, Illinois, but now is based in Laguna Beach, California.  Bryan attended the Art Institute of Chicago before heading to Elgin College to complete his graduate studies. 

His works are in over 120+ major corporate and individual collections such as Pepsi and Mitsubishi, and are in the collections of 7 museums including The Salvador Dali Museum, the High Museum of Art, and the BMW Museum in Munich, Germany. 

Bryan has an impressive exhibition record having a total of 49 solo shows since 1980.  He has also been the “Official Artist” of many major events including the 1991 Toyota Grand Prix, the 1994 USA Water Polo,  BMW’s ’96 Olympics, and the 2001 Toshiba Classic.

Michael Bryan’s vibrant personality is reflected through his unique combination of painting techniques and perspectives.  He captures the force and grace of sports, the soulful cadence of jazz musicians, and the vigor of crowds at play.  Many of Michael’s unique perspectives reflect his voyeuristic view of man interacting with Mother Nature.  It is as if the elements co-exist in a different dimension, but simultaneously…

His portrayals of cyclists, boaters, runners, polo players, prize fighters and horse racers evoke a romantic mystique attached to athletic prowess and sporting events.  Through a diversity of styles, he examines the power and energy in man’s relationship with nature.
