Born in Ayr in 1959, Michael graduated from Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) in 1983. Working for the BBC in Glasgow, Michael moved to London in 1989 where he worked as a freelance art director and illustrator but continued painting and selling highly successfully throughout this period. Michael and his family returned to Scotland in 1999 where he has painted full-time and to great acclaim, exhibiting in high profile mixed and solo shows in London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Oxford, Suffolk and Norfolk.
Gallerist comment - 'It's great fun to visit Mike at his wonderfully situated studio by his home overlooking the beautiful River Doon in Ayrshire. I'm enthralled by his terrific paintings, from village life in France, to Scottish landscapes and golfers, to his famous "Little Black Dress" series.'
