Instructor Bio:

Michael is a Baltimorean who worked in the field of community development for fifty years. In 2006, he started dabbling in two-dimensional art mainly with charcoals and ink.

He now holds regular workshops introducing this beautiful Baltimore folk art to anyone who will listen. He is a member of the Hamilton Art Gallery and is connected with the Creative Alliance, the B and O Railroad Museum and the Maryland Center for History and Culture where his work is regularly shown.
