Welcome photographer Michael Morris to In-Focus Podcast Number 101. In this special episode, Michael shares the legacy of his great-grandfather Manuel C. “Mal” Oliveira.

Mike is the owner of Michael T. Morris Photography and has been a professional photographer for the past seven years. He was our guest on Podcast Episode 91. He’s pictured here with his great-grandfather.

Mal Oliveira (1908 – 2003) was a prolific and multi-talented artist. He was also The Artist Index’s host, Ron Fortier’s private painting instructor while during his high school years. Says Ron, “The lessons I learned are with me and he has remained ever-present in my studio when I paint, to this day.”
