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.
