Michael is a painter mostly known for using acrylic paints on upholstery fabric. A process related to his mother being a furniture upholsterer and being around fabric in his formative years.
Michael often takes inspiration from staring at the abstract patterns of the fabric, much like one would stare at the clouds, and thinking, “What do I see?” This process often jump-starts his painting process.
Whether he paints a hummingbird or a lighthouse, the pattern of the fabric is always woven into the composition leaving the piece with a sense of whimsy and wonder.
