About Michael


I’m interested in what I don’t know. I don’t preplan my paintings. I don’t draw them out on the canvas and fill them in. The relationship is left open between my reflection in the mirror and what ends up on canvas. The painting sometimes tells me what to look like and vice versa. I go to the painting with what I have and what I have is myself.
