Professional info

 

 

I am a self-taught, self-made, well known but still struggling artist, born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I graduated from High School Redirection and attended Nassau Community College. My first major solo show, "Prince Michael’s Neverland: The Measure of an Artist" was at FB Gallery in New York in 2012. I just sold out at my first show abroad,  in Napoli, Italy, at Le 4 Pareti. In addition to painting huge exuberantly colorful acrylic canvases, I often incorporate things I find in the street into my art, and I design clothing.
