In
recent years, Michael Story's art has graced both the interior pages and front
covers of several South Carolina publications. In the March/April 1999 issue
of South Carolina Wildlife an article entitled "Canvases of Conscience" discussed
landscape painting in South Carolina. Two of Story's paintings, Shell
Island Creek and Congaree Autumn were
featured in the article. Shell Island Creek was also chosen for the
cover art.
In 2002, South Carolina Business magazine published Michael Story's painting Sunset Over Bluffton as their cover art. In that same calendar year, South Carolina Homes and Gardens interviewed Story for an eight-page article highlighting his art. Story's pastel, watercolor and oil paintings depict the Palmetto State's most primal resources: its land and water.
"His
opulent landscapes give majesty to South Carolina's mundane - the tidal creeks,
the sun-bleached beaches. His landscapes make those who aren't here want to come,
and those who are here want to stay. Story captures the natural magic of the
Palmetto State from coastal eddies and marshes to the high country toward the
Atlantic."
In early 2006, the editor of Arts Across Kentucky magazine contacted Story about a planned article featuring well-known South Carolina author Pat Conroy. The magazine needed art that would complement the author's story and reflect the South Carolina landscape that Conroy grew up in and wrote about. Six paintings from previously done works by Story were chosen to represent the article and were reproduced in the Spring issue of the magazine.
