Armand traces the story of a quiet Michigan hero who, with the undying support of his wife and family, prevailed to become one of this country’s greatest artists despite the poverty of the Great Depression, rejection from his community, financial destitution, pressure to mass produce his art, and the physical maladies of macular degeneration, cancer, and arthritis. Carving his own path, Armand leaves us a legacy of beauty, integrity, and perseverance, values we need to be reminded of in this fast-paced world.

“It’s about time somebody acknowledges this man’s genius and recognizes his contributions to this city, our country, and the world.”
Paul Collins, International Artist


“I hope I can leave something that is not just interesting or challenging, but that gives people a lift. . . on the one hand joy and on the other hand reverence.”
Armand Merizon, Artist ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
