Greetings,

I have been an active artist and teacher over 25 years. My work is a combination of digital painting, generative AI, and traditional painting on canvas. I see the body as the interface between nature and technology, and that is the focus of my current work. It’s my aim to create works that address this current state of creative technology both in my methodology and subject matter.

I’m currently living in Osaka, Japan where I teach illustration and paint in my home studio. After many years away in the digital and commercial art world, I am back working on canvas and exhibiting work! Please feel free to contact me with questions or comments.

Cheers

Mike
