Michael was born in Surrey in 1943. After leaving Farnham School of Art he became a successful graphic designer, artist and illustrator, and has enjoyed a long career as a painter producing landscape and portrait commissions for both private clients and multinational companies. In recent years he has specialised in fine art and regularly exhibits his landscape paintings in galleries from London to the West Country, including local Lyme Regis galleries. He now lives and works in Rousdon, Lyme Regis in West Dorset/Devon and, although as a local artist based on the Rousdon Estate he’s become much sought after, still maintaining his links with Surrey, London and the South East.

Michael is equally at home working as a portrait and figure artist, nature and landscape painter, or working in the field of speed and power machines. Due to his versatility he has the ability to overlap from one discipline to another across a wide range of subject matter, applying a variety of painting and drawing techniques. He finds that the different areas compliment each other well and keep his work fresh and exciting.

Many of Michael’s landscape paintings feature scenes of Rousdon, Lyme Regis, West Dorset and the West Country. Michael has exhibited his landscape and portrait paintings in Rousdon, Lyme Regis and he frequently travels to London, Surrey and the South East.
