He  is currently an MFA candidate at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. In 2019 Michael had solo exhibitions at Google in Cambridge and GAS Gallery in Lynn, MA. Michael and his partner Cinda received a $10,000 grant to paint a wrap around mural in Lynn, MA at Ernie’s Harvest Time. The mural is a collaboration with The Food Project.
