Michaels
Biography:
As
a child I was encouraged to be creative. I grew up with
my family on the grounds of a Technical College in the highlands
of Papua New Guinea, where there was a large focus on art.
The experience of the Papua New Guinea culture and their
arts has had a major influence on my art work, even though
i was classically trained in fine drawing for many years,
by artist Robert Jago M.A.ATD.
In
1993 I became a qualified tradesman in leadlighting. Since
that time I have been consolidating and developing my skills
working on large restoration projects, individual commissioned
pieces and my own glass art pieces.
When
I'm creating, I am in my element, so the Glass Mandala is
not exclusively about glass art. I love working with many
different materials and complimenting them with what I'm
most experienced with-glass.
