Mickey Asche

At least one silver lining appeared after 2005’s Hurricane Katrina.  Mickey Asche decided that if he had to rebuild his life he would rebuild it to his specifications.  He left a career as an aircraft mechanic to pursue his true calling as an artist.   “As a teenager, I could not have asked for more when it was announced that my family was moving from Kentucky to Louisiana. Once I looked on a map and saw the vast number of bayous, marshlands, and swamps, I knew I was moving to paradise. I spent most of my days traversing the back waterways, wetting a line, and being in awe of my surroundings.  I am filled with almost a sense of urgency when I am inspired by the way the sun catches the back of a magnolia tree or how the glow of the moon reflects on a small puddle. With my oils, I love to capture the fine hairs of a squirrel’s tail or the detailed reflections of a cypress tree on the bayou. When someone sees my painting and asks if it is a photograph, I feel like I have recreated nature to the best of my ability and have done it justice.”
