Michael A. Thompson, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio would tell you that he was drawing before he could write. In retrospect, he acknowledges that his artistic skills and abilities are truly “a gift from God.†His early interest in drawing led him towards the aspiration of a career in art. He is an alumnus of Baldwin Wallace College where he received a B.A. in Fine Art and a minor in Business and Psychology. In October of 1995, Michael opened his own Art Gallery and Studio. In July of 1998, he renamed his business “Transcending ARTS’ More Than Just What You See. The renaming encompasses the new vision and the new direction that Michael sees his gifts taking him.transcend: ..tran(t)s-‘end.. vb 1: to rise up or extend notably beyond ordinary limits syn see EXCEED
