His is not a scientific bent, but one more spiritual, one connected by an elemental reflection on life and death. Michael is an inveterate hunter. He stalks his models with rifle, camera, and sketchbook. The animals are at the same time his trophies and his artistic inspiration. In the contest that unfolds during his search for those models, he joins unreservedly in the life of the wild. The paintings thus brought to life are vivid manifestations of a special and personal union with nature and the outdoor world.
