Myron works from his home studio on Lake Victoria in Alexandria, Minnesota. During his 20 year career as an illustrator he created illustrations for twenty different book and magazine publishers. Other clients included university sports programs and advertising accounts. During this same time he was invited to teach illustration in the Communication Art and Design department at the Alexandria Technical and Community College in Alexandria, Minnesota. During his tenure there he taught drawing, painting and illustration classes to over a thousand students.
Myron has painted commissioned portraits for 30 + years. His paintings are in the permanent collection of two museums and many private collections. His paintings have been in several shows and galleries in Minnesota. Sahlberg’s artwork is in the American Miniature Show at SETTLERS WEST GALLERY in Tuscon, AZ., the MOUNTAIN OYSTER CLUB Western Art Show, Tucson, AZ, THE NATIONAL COWBOY MUSEUM Small Works, Great Wonders Art Show, Oklahoma City, OK, and the PHIPPEN MUSEUM Annual Miniature Masterpiece Art Show and Sale, Prescott, AZ.
"Psalm 16:8 -11 is a favorite Bible passage that contributes to my personal perspective in life. "I keep the Lord in mind always . . . Therefore my heart is glad and my spirit rejoices." "Every day I paint is a great day!"
