Mike Shine’s art work proliferates through nearly all aspects of his life, from his paintings on found drift wood, his work as creative director at design firm Butler Shine & Stern to his “surf shack” home and studio. Shine lives in the coastal town of Bolinas, California with his wife and three sons. A long time surfer and artist Mike Shine seems to draw no boundaries between life, work and play.
