Michael Parkes

Michael Parkes was born in 1944, in Sikeston, Missouri, USA. After his school years he studied at the University of Kansas, and immediately after graduating was appointed a lecturer in graphic techniques first at the Kent State University and later in Florida. He taught at the university for five years, from 1965 to 1970, and then at the age of twenty-six, he and his wife went on a study trip to Europe and Asia. This journey meant a definitive departure from America. Since 1975 Michael Parkes has lived and worked in Spain.
