Versatility

Michael’s distinctive art work of landscapes and abstracts have been exhibited in numerous galleries. However, as a mural painter and commercial artist, he offers prospective clients much more than his own personal style of painting. Through training and long experience, Michael designs and paints murals in a wide diversity of styles. He can create a new and unique artwork to represent a client’s personal vision, or use his skill to paint in the style to replicate almost any period of art from decorative art and faux finishing, and to abstract, impressionism, or realistic art.

Edgecombe County Veteran's Museum, Tarboro, North Carolina, detail from 125´ X 30´ mural. “I have worked all over the state of North Carolina and although I have paintings from Miami to Chicago I consider myself a North Carolina artist.”
Raleigh Amtrak Station, 70´ X 30’. “I painted this portrait of a famous steam locomotive that used to pass through North Carolina daily. For a mural painter it is an artistic challenge to paint perspective on such a grand scale. Accurate details were important.”
Yates Motor Company, Chapel Hill, NC, 100´ X 14´. “I wanted to design the mural around the existing trees so I created an artistic collage of different landscapes celebrating North Carolina trees.”
The old Chapel Hill Post Office on Franklin St., detail of the 22´ X 7´ painting commemorating founding of Chapel Hill and The University of North Carolina.
“Local people posed for many of the figures in this mural.”

“The mural painted for Tarboro's Veterans is a special architectural landmark in our town. His art is special because it included so much input from individuals in the community. ”
