A foray into architectural school in the 1980s did not dissuade Michael from a career as an artist. In fact, he still finds himself engaged with many of the concepts and practices of architecture and urban planning. His work is a reflection of these interests and his drawings derive primarily from the processes and old-school tools of architectural drawing melded with a love of contemporary art.

Michael’s work featured on ArtStar is a collaboration with New York based Interior Designer Dan Mazzarini. First introduced 20 years ago during Dan’s time at Ralph Lauren Store Design, they have collaborated on projects across the globe. Both share an affinity for gestural marks and hand-drawn fluidity, a sentiment that is reflected in their first ArtStar collaboration.
