He endeavors to shed light on ignorance, injustice, intolerance, and inequity perpetuated by societal facades, unveiling the raw realities beneath.
Michael's artistic mission extends beyond the canvas as he aims to engage his viewers in critical dialogues that nurture human dignity, champion social justice, advocate for global equality, and prioritize planetary health.

Infinite - The Connect Residency
Dragonfly Gallery and Creative Spaces, West Madison Street, Chicago, IL, USA
I'm among 18 artists fortunate enough to have been chosen to be part of The Connect Residency, which invites participants from around the world to create new projects or innovate existing ones.
In my past five weeks as a Resident, I have pushed my He, She, They, Them Series further, moving from black and white monotone linocut prints to full color.
On May 3, the works we create during the Residency will open to the public at DragonFLY Gallery Chicago through May 31. Here's the video announcement.
Illinois people, come on out for a fun evening in town!
The Connect Residency is a Chicago-based international program that selects a new cohort of Residents each year. Under the guidance of Founder and Director Hollie Davis, the Residency fosters a vibrant, creative atmosphere dedicated to supporting emerging artists.
