Micheal Binkley

Micheal Binkley is a famous stone sculptor. Born in 1960, Binkley has became one of Canada's most successful self represented artists by the 1990's. His artwork is truly breathtaking. He creates quite simple work out of the material but it has a lot of meaning. Binkley is a self taught artist and strives to seduce the viewer's eye. Binkley's inspiration started when he encountered the four unfinished "Captives" by the famous artist Michealangelo. Ever since then his soul began to shape as an artist. Binkley has been going to art shows ever since 1981. He now owns a studio gallery and sculpture garden in North Vancouver, BC. You can purchase his artwork online at
