Personal History
Parkes could draw even before he could read and write. He
was an only child, raised in Canalou , Missouri , a typical
American Midwest town in the fifties. He attended art school
where he met the woman, artist and musician to whom he
remains married more than three decades later, Maria
Sedoff. Parkes taught college level Art History as the young
couple made their way in the Vietnam era. Parkes has been
a serious and lifelong student of spirituality and esoterica.
Together in the 1970's, Michael and Maria set off on a
spiritual journey where they found excellent teachers and a
lifelong passion for India . Returning to Spain soon after their
only daughter was born, Michael and Maria worked together
to form a financially stable venture in art, beginning with
humbly making and selling leather belts to tourists to achieving
the internationally prestigious recognition as a master that
Parkes enjoys today. Parkes remains humble and as much
like your favorite neighbor as the sage weaver of myth and
dreams whom we know through his art. Ultimately forming a
publishing company to independently represent his art work,
Michael and Maria now live and work in Spain . Swan King
International is now Parkes’ exclusive publisher and distributor
of his creative works.
