Hailing from Albion, MI, Michael Dixon is an oil painter and full professor of art at Albion College. Dixon was born in 1976 to a white mother and black father in San Diego, CA. After participating in genetic testing Dixon found a sister, and subsequently learned he was one of eleven children. This discovery also provided his biological father’s name and identity. Having never met his biological father, Once Lost Now Found: One-Drop of Blood Between Us is a new body of work about his missing biological father and his new-found family members. After 47-years of wondering, Dixon is at the beginning of a new chapter of discovery both personally and artistically.
