As a neurodivergent artist with Tourette’s, Michael creates his universe on the canvas, finding an almost alchemical release in the use of his paint to render 3-D sparks, spirals, spins, splashes and strokes that defy gravity in our field of vision.

Michael received his artistic training in Los Angeles, studying at Loyola Marymount University while simultaneously serving as an apprentice under respected artists Jane Brucker and Roland Reiss. He graduated at the top of his class with honors including the Scholar of Distinction Award in Painting.

Michael returned to his hometown in San Diego, where he currently maintains his studio. With over 100 exhibitions nationally and internationally, he has received over a dozen major awards and was named Emerging Artist of the Year by Art Design Consultants.

Michaels work can be found all over the world in the collections of celebrities, major businesses, and private collectors as well as OMSA Gallery.
