Since childhood, Michael has had a fascination with all things beautiful, majestic & resplendent. He pursues many interests in the visual, graphic, performing & martial arts and lives in San Jose, an ethnically and culturally diverse region of California, which has enhanced his primary interests in Asian & Native cultural arts. He has found a passion for creating spiritual art and capturing magical scenes with photography. Many of his pieces contain subject matter or are of a style never attempted before by others. Uniqueness is a strong factor in the direction of his work. He loves his art! Many of his own works hang in his home, and he wears it too. He hopes his artwork & photography inspires others to follow their dreams, turn their lives into a meaningful existence and create in beauty!
