Michael's artistic career began upon graduating from the Pasadena Art Center College of Design. It was there that he developed his talent for realistically depicting the human form and our environment which in turn would be characteristics sought after by clients seeking high quality, precise draftsmanship. His knowledge of art history, and the distinguishing stylistic traits of each era, ensures his designs fit seamlessly with existing architecture and according to the client's wishes. Being classically trained in techniques used by the Old Masters, Michael is frequently commissioned to execute portraits and add to both private and public collections. Clients and designers affirm his ability to understand their individual visions and tastes and transform them into a masterpiece whose integrity will stand the test of time.
