About the Artist:
Mike Kupka’s work is inspired by music, movies and his love of sports. His portrait of Ozzy Osbourne caught the eye of a Disney Company representative that led to an eight-year stint as a licensed artist for the Disney Company. After working with Disney, Kupka created several originals and limited edition prints for Lucas Films. Several of those originals are now part of the private collection of George Lucas. Kupka is currently licensed by Major League Baseball.
Kupka studied at duCret School of Art in Plainfield, NJ where he was introduced to the work of his greatest influences: Rembrandt, Norman Rockwell, Robert McGinnis and James Bama, by his professor and mentor, Peter Caras.
Kupka is involved in several charities. He has donated artwork or portions of his sales to The Ashley Lauren Foundation, Ronald McDonald House New York, The Ed Lucas Foundation, The AHRC New York City Foundation and the New York Yankees Foundation.
