The artist
 
Michael Pace-Sigge is German-born and
Liverpool-based. Without ever having ever received formal arts or
photography training, passion for the picture made him a self-trained
semi-professional. He has been highly commended for his powers of
observation.
These have been, so far, been concentrated
on the way people use language to communicate (or deny
communication!) and, consequently, he has pursued studies in language
to gain his Masters degree – and now he works on his PhD. (See English
Language Research).

After some tinkering and much
positive feedback from friends & artists, Michael finally decided to
give access to his pictures to a wider public after artists. This was in
2003, when Liverpool’s Domino
Gallery ,Upper Newington, offered the first chance to exhibit his work. The
first enthusiasts were quickly found, and pictures did what Michael had
not expected so soon – they sold! The owner consequently persuaded him to
try his hand at creating and selling postcards – a limited series of two
designs has been printed and sold
every year since.
Since then, work has been on
display at the Village Gallery (Heswall, Wirral) and further exhibitions
have taken place in the Philharmonic Hall ; Senate
House, University of Liverpool
; Everyman Bistro (a dot.art exhibition), the Unity Theatre and in
the Merseyside
Maritime Museum.
Michael has also been commissioned
for a variety of projects: an CD album cover for the classical trio
PHILION; a postcard for Liverpool
University Corporate Services and, forthcoming, photos of the Liverpool Anglican
Cathedral Organ.
There is also a limited edition of
postcards available in shops and galleries throughout Liverpool.
