"Michael Ringer almost chose “Shop” when he was in Grade 7, but his best friend suggested that the two of them sign up for “Art”, because it was sure to be an “Easy A…” He credits V. Roger Lalli, his high school art teacher, for giving him a solid foundation in “perspective” and his college professors who challenged him to expand his horizons. He received his Associate Degree in Fine Art from the Rochester Institute of Technology and later received a Masters Degree from the University of Buffalo. In the early 1970s Michael and his wife Meg moved to Alexandria Bay where he taught Art in the local High school for more than two decades. His art became his full-time occupation after judging an Art Show with Harold Herrick Jr., of Cape Vincent. He loves the morning light and has painted so many misty-river scenes that his friends are likely to refer to the morning mist as a “Michael Ringer Morning” In addition to the land - the islands, wetlands, and river craft, are the subjects for his paintings. Many are captured in his books: For the Love of the River (1994), The River (1998) and River Life (1999). In the mid 1990s Michael began painting the Adirondack Mountains. He has written Adirondack Seasons: Old as Time (2006), which has become a classic in the region. To date, he has completed over 1,500 paintings in oil, watercolor, acrylic, and pastel, which depict the River, the Adirondacks and southern Florida. He has also created over 500 bronzes of 15 sculptural works. After establishing himself as a River artist, he was the host for The Artist’s World, a PBS Television series that ran for three years and went national (160 stations) in 1997."
