Here is the new and improved edition of my book which is 7"x9" (soft cover) available now for $28.00 and also available in the 8"x11" hard cover but for almost $60.00. I keep learning better ways to design these things and what to avoid. Images need to be very very well-focused and high resolution. 

Here is the catalogue for my upcoming exhibition at Paia Contemporary in Maui in December. I added some new images of Hawaii that I took when I was there in March. This book is hard cover and measures 8"x11" and the cost is $30.

Kessler > New Earth/Sage works

Here is an image of a new group of paintings I call the Earth/Sage works. They are characterized by sage-colored plank forms superimposed over loose brushwork which stems from plant growth, branches, and vines.

Where Wetsuits and Art Meet in Maui

By DANIELLE PERGAMENT

Published: May 16, 2010

“You have all that exotica, these wonderful restaurants and top-notch galleries,” said Michael Kessler, an artist who lives in Santa Fe but recently had his first show in Paia. “I don’t know any other place like it.”

The Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania just acquired these two paintings by Michael Kessler,

Special thanks to Chris Schmidt (Schmidt Dean Gallery) in Philadelphia for this important placement.

Kessler I & II by Matthew Chase-Daniel

These two photographs were made by my dear friend Matthew Chase-Daniel. Matthew is an artist based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is currently working on a series of new photographs taken in various artist's studios. The thing I like about this series is that they are simultaneously Art and Documentation. To view more of works from Matthew's new portrait series visit his site >>>> Matthew Chase-Daniel.
