Michael is an artist who primarily paints on upholstery fabric with acrylic paints. It’s a unique process that yields whimsical results. Subjects vary though he does love to paint birds and lighthouses.

A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, his roots lie in pen and ink and he still continues to do pen and ink work, largely through home portrait commissions.

Michael resides in West Warwick, RI with his wife and two young kids. He is the co-founder and Sorcerer of Artistry for the marketing agency MKT (www.HireMKT.com). He also works as a part-time instructor in RISD’s CE department.
