Interview by Jimon<\/p>\n

1-Where did you grow up, and where do you live currently?<\/strong> I grew up in Oak Park Illinois, and I\u2019ve circled back around and live here now with my wife and kids.<\/p>\n

2-How would you describe Michael Hedges?<\/strong>That\u2019s a tough one, I don\u2019t think about myself much, but I\u2019d describe myself as creative person , a painter , a husband , and most importantly a father.<\/p>\n

3-Did you have any official training for art?<\/strong> When I was in high school I started taking classes at the Art Institute and from there moved on to Loras college in Dubuque Iowa and studied painting under Tom Jewell Vitale and when I graduated I headed to Chicago.
