Though Michael's style is often described as photo-realistic, its minute detail never compromises the overall mood or """"""""gestalt"""""""" of the work. A master of realistic illusion, Michael displays his technical virtuosity in all of his chosen subjects.

Employing a subtle and sophisticated palette, Michael pays particular attention to the element of light in his compositions. The resulting works resonate with an atmosphere of peace, dignity and profound tranquility.
In 2000, Michael's painting Laurance and Mary's Place was accepted and made the top 200 in the prestigious National Arts for the Parks Exhibition, Michael's paintings have been broadly exhibited, and are displayed in many private and corporate collections nationwide.
