“Michael is a gifted artist. He possess an innate talent for creating beautiful fine art as well as top-notch technical, medical, and scientific illustration. Beyond being an artist, Michael genuinely cares about his clients, colleagues, and students. Michael readily shares his expertise and passion for art and is enthusiastic about supporting the arts.
I have had the pleasure of working with Michael on several medical illustration projects and with each experience I improved as a medical illustrator through his direction and encouragement. Though Michael is a well rounded artist and medical illustrator I am mostly impressed with his pen & ink technique which is reminiscent of the masters like Gerald Hodge.”

Hey, now that’s a cute kid! Yeah, knowing that drawing is about proportion, shapes, values, and edges makes sense. Then you can draw anything well. And you have!
Best,
