For the past decade he has worked as a paint maker and raw materials specialist, sharing his deep knowledge ofpigments, binders, and material behaviors with artists and creative communities through hands-on workshops, consultations, and on-site demonstrations. Michael is the founder of Paint Makers Notes LLC, a business that focuses on empowering participants to make their ownpaints and mediums from scratch, teaching safe handling, material science, and creative exploration of raw materials so that makers can broaden their artistic practice and achievegreater independence in their work. In addition to his work as an educator and paint maker, Michael maintains an active studio practice. His paintings explore the materiality of paint itself, from pigment to surface, applying experimental approaches that emphasize layers, textures, and the alchemy of color. Michael brings this combined perspective as paint maker, educator, and artist to his watercolor paint-making workshops, where participants not only learn techniques but also engage with the philosophy and craft of paint itself. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1770215620/wysiwyg/qrgbvj88vqoqhr9hzfdk.jpg" style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; -webkit-user-select: none; position: relative; max-width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">

What's the Future? OyG Projects 2026 Fundraiser Event and Art Raffle

Join us for a special performance by Marc Armitano Domingo,&nbsp;as part of our current group exhibition The Tower, curated by Adam Liam Rose. During the performance, Domingo will play the salterio (a once highly esteemed instrument during the 18th century), and the French baroque bass viola da gamba (one of the most important chamber instruments during the courts of Louis XIV and XV). tickets are $20 or $10 for students Marc Armitano Domingo (b. 1996) is a multidisciplinary artist based in California who works in oil painting, porcelain, and historical performance on the salterio and viola da gamba. His practice confronts the cultural amnesia that allows once important traditions to disappear, recovering forgotten forms and asking why time allowed them to fall into oblivion.
