Michael graduated from Stetson University in the Spring of 2000 with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration focusing on Marketing with a Minor in Studio Art. He excelled in Graphic Design Courses as well as oil painting.

Every painting of Michael's is an expression of a moment. There is always something more meaningful than the paint and canvas itself locked inside his paintings.

Coupled with a love for animals, our tropical environment, and the undersea world Michael has created works that have been inspired by the Caribbean but can reach global audiences through the beauty an imagination captured in each painting. Michael hopes that through the beauty of his paintings he might help save some of our planets endangered species and habitats by enabling people to have this beauty in their homes and to create more awareness of their surroundings and the delicate balance that we live with our environment.

Michael's paintings are not currently available thru any gallery but this Website.  He does contribute artwork to most non-profit charities and auctions that he is invited.  His artwork generates a lot of excitement at all the shows he attends.

Michael makes a conscious effort to save and protect our natural environment and to further this commitment he donates a portion of each paintings sale is to help preserve our planets natural beauty. Previous donations include Save the Manatee Club to adopt Doc and Flash, The World Wildlife Fund to adopt the following animals: Polar Bear, Giant Panda, Emperor Penguin, Clown Fish, and Macaw, as well as donations of food and supplies to the  Florida Keys S.P.C.A.
