After many years in Norfolk earning a reputation as a successful landscape artist, Michael spent some time living in Thailand, painting the colourful beaches and crumbling ancient temples. Following this he spent 6 years living on the French Cote D'Azure where he exhibited in Mougins, St Paul de Vence and Monaco.

He then decided to return to England with his family. A long standing love of Cornwall inspired by family holidays walking and fishing around Fowey brought him down to Cornwall. Initially based in Helford he now lives in Falmouth.

Michael's paintings reflect the changing seasons, reflecting the love of the Cornish environment and ever changing colours of the sea, sky and light. He uses oil, acrylic, gouache and watercolour combined with collage techniques to reflect the changing mood of nature.
