Michael Schofield, landscape painter and printmaker, was born in Orlando, Florida in 1947
and moved with his family to Oakland, California that same year. Growing up he thought he going to play pro-baseball. In his sophomore year at Oakland High School, under the tutelage of his art teacher Jackie Jenson (brother of internationally recognized watercolorist Robert Jensen), Schofield began to develop his skill in watercolor painting. For the next
two years, according to Schofield, "he squeezed endless tubes of paint in his quest to master
watercolor and get back to baseball." After high school, Michael went into the military. Shortly thereafter, he left the Marines to attend the Harris School of Advertising Art in Nashville, Tennessee. During the summers term(s), he studied with well-known watercolorist John Pike, a contemporary of Robert Wood in Woodstock, New York.

Two years later, he opened his own art studio (in Tennessee) where he says "he taught, painted, and starved", Schofield maintained this studio for 12 years. In 1980, he returned to California and opened his own silkscreen printing studio where he could create his own original serigraphs.

As a successful artist for many years, Schofield's work can be found in many private and corporate collections. His work has been exhibited throughout
the United States and seen on such popular motion picture films as Bridges of Madison County, City Hall, Beethoven amongst others.
