| Michael started
painting when he was about 5 years old. At the
elbow of his grandmother he started to learn the
basics of painting by helping with her paintings.
She encouraged his efforts and young Michael was
swept away by the fascination of someday creating
his own work. |
|
 |
 |
| Soon,
he was learning the basics of art from some of
the finest teachers in the country at the prestigious
Art Center College of Design in California. He
graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree
and set out on long career in commercial art. |
|
|
 |
| He has created, as he says,
"Everything from matchbook covers to Super
Bowl commercials for clients large and small."
In addition to commercial art Michael has continued
his passion for the fine art of painting. Today,
while Michael is still painting and designing
for commercial entities, for the first time he
will be making himself available to private individuals.
He has recently completed several murals; a fantasy
seascape titled "Why there are rainbows"
and a 6.5 foot tall by 44 foot long painting of
the famous 18th hole at Pebble Beach Golf Course
that provides the background for an accountant/golf
nuts hot tub. He has also completed animal portraits
of family pets and an ornate decorative border
that added the finishing touch to a remodeled
kitchen. In addition to these assignments Michael
always has an ongoing series of paintings that
he is doing for himself. However, new assignments
always have priority. |
