Michael’s artwork reflects a keen interest in people, architecture, landscape and daily life. Colour is an essential element in his work; he favours bold and playful tones.

For Michael, art is an integral part of his life, spending two to three hours drawing each day. It is also a form of communication and social engagement for him, while providing a vehicle to process a range of experiences.

In recent years Michael’s preferred medium has become water-based oils on canvas.

Michael is a longstanding member of the Brisbane Outsider Artists’ Studio at Access Arts.

Michael has recently exhibited in a series of exhibitions curated by Access Arts at St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital including Time (2019), Dreams (2020), Earth Footprint (2021) and Dancing Colours (2022). He has also exhibited in a series of exhibitions curated by Access Arts at KPMG and Brisbane Powerhouse including Celebrating Difference (2019), Journey to the other side (2020) and Visitors (2021).
