As an abstract expressionist working predominantly with acrylics on canvas, Michael Norsk tends to steer away from imposing the limitations of traditional elements within his work. Instead, he accents the use of layering, texture, contrast and value. Each of his abstract expressionism paintings begin with an emotional foundation tied to a momentary experience. For Michael, painting is therapeutic and provides a creative and productive outlet from an often busy and distracted world. Mental health is a vital part of Michael's wellbeing. For him, the painting process is therapeutic and calming. His collections, and individual pieces, represent a window into the layers of the journey along his path on the mental health continuum.

His work has been hosted by Idaho Art Gallery, Meridian, Idaho and in the Boise Weekly Art Auction or is available on his Website
