There's never a dull moment when Michael is "in the house." Having over 20 years of experience in the publishing/printing industry, Michael decided that his illustration needed a new infusion, so he branched out into 3-D modeling and found his newest obsession. Poking fun at the prudish mentality of our current culture, Michael's 3-D illustrative work grabs things we normally take for granted and brings new life to them. This includes the beauty and wonder of the human body. Many of Michael's works of art exhibit his appreciation for the way in which God created our bodies as the crowning glory of His creation. Michael believes that since our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit, there is NOTHING anyone should be ashamed of, for we are God's sculptural masterpieces, each a unique expression of His creative Spirit.
With this new infusion, Michael has begun using his sculptural artwork to encourage others to love themselves as God loves them. He also teaches art for a local recreation center, and ministers with art to a Christian men's group, to couples and to individuals.
