“Balancing Act” by folk artist Michael Banks 🎨 is a striking reflection of the beauty and struggle woven into everyday life.

We’re huge fans of his work here at Gallery on First 🤍💚

Known for his emotionally charged folk and outsider art, Banks creates pieces filled with etched textures, bold figures, and rich symbolism that stay with you long after you’ve seen them.
