My name is Mike Casanova. .  My artistic journey began through playing live music with like-minded small-town friends.  Eventually touring and recording became a way of life.  I've privately dabbled in creating in other mediums over these same years.  As time went by and situations changed, I found myself needing a much more personal form of release and expression.  Painting and photography are both extremely enjoyable to me and give me a chance to reflect on my experiences and connections to both the spiritual and physical world.
