Explore unique artworks blending traditional painting and contemporary mixed media techniques to celebrate architectural forms and nature
"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." - Edgar Degas
Michael's love for Art started at an early age, often 'doodling' pictures whilst at school where he won a prize for recreating the album cover for one of his favourite singers - Meat Loaf. Later, during his career in the Merchant Navy he would while-away the hours at sea sketching landscape subjects, often taking a week to finish the drawing.
Nowadays, although still maintaining a full time job, he manages to regularly produce artworks using a variety of mediums. He specializes in visually capturing the spirit of architectural and landscape subjects, creating expressive traditional paintings as well as mixed media & digital artwork, to produce dynamic and evocative pieces that will enliven any home or workspace.
Besides his 'Traditional' artwork, Michael also enjoys creating his sketchy, more 'quirky' art which captures a more light-hearted approach to architectural and landscape subjects which he finds on his many walks around Yorkshire, the Peak district & Lake district.
