Who I am

Mike was born in Lincoln and trained in medicine at Jesus College ,
Cambridge and Saint Bartholomew”s Hospital. He practised in rural
North Yorkshire and had a hospital appointment in Dermatology at
Harrogate Hospital.


He was given his first paintbox ,aged seven,by a Polish refugee with the
clear instruction “never stop painting and drawing” . He took this to heart
and there has never been a time when the visual arts have not been an
important part of his life.


He received no formal art training as a young man apart from a few
classes at Gloucester Art School but on retirement from medicine he
joined the London Art Academy and qualified with a first in July 2012 .

His main graduate show painting was chosen by the President of the
British Federation of Artists for their “Futures” show at the Mall Gallery in
August 2012.

He has illustrated a number of children’s books including “The Pocket
Mouse” and an anthology of Australian poetry and prose.
He is at present working in North Yorkshire and in London where he also
has a studio.

In the past and during his professional medical career he concentrated
mainly on pen and ink landscapes but since then has worked on abstract
and semi abstract work. He often uses mixed media but works mainly works with acrylics and oils. He is interested in portraiture and enjoys book illustration work and intaglio printing.
