Biography:

After many years in the computer industry, Michael rediscovered his childhood passion for drawing and painting in 2009. He began taking courses at Gage Academy and in 2012 was accepted into Juliette Aristides’ Classical Atelier where he studied part time while continuing to work at Microsoft. In 2013, he joined Gary Faigin’s Still Life Atelier.

A value study assignment in the fall of 2012, sent him on a tangent that resulted in his passion for printmaking. He studied printmaking on the side during the school year and then worked exclusively on printmaking over the summer of 2013. Printmaking is now on the back burner as he devotes his energies during the school year to the Still Life Atelier curriculum.
