Mike took up photography in 2006 and began to explore a variety of transfer techniques for his botanical and garden imagery. Printed directly to canvas, he fused these prints to stretched canvas, painted the sides black and varnished the entire piece. Many of these one-of-a-kind art pieces have been displayed and sold through art events, galleries, restaurants, coffee shops, and other local businesses.around Portland, Oregon. Collections of Mike's work have been sold for interior design projects.
Exploring other printing and image transfer techniques, Mike continues to experiment with dye-sublimation printing to ceramic tiles and other objects. Recent projects include handcrafted glass magnets, printed fabric cover buttons, and water slide decal transfers.
Mike works out of his home office studio located in the Rose City Park neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. A selection of Mike's art tiles and magnets can be purchased at Pearl Gallery & Framing located in downtown Portland, Oregon. Find handcrafted and artist prepared items from Mike here on Etsy.
