Armstrong aims to convey a deep inner emotional expression through his work rather than only describing the external form. He creates emotive allegories based on themes of love, loss, pain, shame and hope. His contemporary works draw on real-life situations, a wealth of literary sources, and intensely personal, psychological symbolism. Armstrong has a strong social conscience, and his works engage deeply with humanitarian issues. His art is an expression of a moment and a reflection of a lifetime.Mike owns a public art studio in Lyneham, Canberra, that is a creative hub for creativity, wellness and learning. Mike works, teaches art, runs veteran art events, displays his artworks, and teaches martial arts as Rogue Brazilian Jujitsu from this place. He also shares the space with local business, Flow and Food Yoga & Ayurveda. Mike works actively in collaboration with ANVAM, Universities and local organisations to support veteran artists and anyone interested in the arts." } ] } ] ```
