He first studied at the Art Students League of New York with an emphasis on life size sculpture and anatomy. His formal education continued at Boston University, and was augmented by internships with several prominent sculptors. Michael exhibits his work at galleries and other public venues, and he is a regular entrant in art shows, where he has garnered dozens of awards. His public monuments are on permanent display throughout the Northeast. Many newspapers and magazines, have featured Michael's work and his story.
