Michael is an illustrator who primarily paints on stretched upholstery fabric with acrylic paints. He always looks for ways to incorporate the fabric’s pattern and texture into his work, which often infuses the piece with a sense of whimsy and wonder. He is an award-winning artist whose work has been recognized in a number of juried exhibitions throughout Southern New England.

Born and raised in West Chester, PA, he moved to New England to study at both Boston University and the Rhode Island School of Design. His artistic journey started with pen and ink before slowly evolving into acrylics on fabric. Besides being an artist, Michael is also the co-owner of the marketing agency MKT, where he holds the title of Sorcerer of Artistry. He is responsible for overseeing all aspects of design, including websites, brochures, social media graphics and so much more. 

In May, 2021 Michael self-published his first children’s book, “Ella Lee in to Catch a Hummingbird.” It received an Honorable Mention Royal Dragonfly Book Award for Children’s Picture Books, ages 6 and up. It collects many of Michael’s whimsical illustrations.

When Michael is not working or painting, you can find him either biking or hiking with his wife and 2 young kids or enjoying a Batman comic book.
