Visual Art R.I.P., Mike Sweeney

  • 1940-2009
Mike Sweeney, who died of leukemia last month, was a Seattle artist whose sculptures have become part of our landscape, particularly pieces that map out the city's ley lines—lines of electromagnetic energy originating at power centers—and the Lake City Way Gateway. He showed at Woodside/Braseth Gallery from 1983 to 1995 and lived gracefully with leukemia for 11 years before he died at 69. Full story in the Queen Anne News.

"He was the beloved matriarch of the family", a family member said. Eh?

A wonderful Man and an original thinker and artist.
One of the kindest and modest people I've even had the pleasure to really know.
I loved showing his work and I know he loved showing with our gallery.
Michael will be missed.
