Already an accomplished award-winning photographer whose career began over 30 years ago while traveling the world, his creativity grew through interactions with people in diverse cultures. The rich hues of Michael’s pieces are produced by progressively saturating the surface of the paper with layers of pigment. He continues the process by blotting, scoring and scraping the surface to create an enriched tapestry of colors that echo and resonate with one another. His paintings have a modern look, with linear, bold, clean features that complement spaces with similar design elements. His paintings can be found in private collections across Connecticut and New York.
