The man behind ArtMonster
Creating visually for as long as he can remember...

Trained both in contemporary as well as classical design/art mediums.

Having seen a great deal of the world throughout his travels while he was young, during a tour of duty as a Naval engineer and also a European Internship tour which brought him to Oxford and mainland Europe; Michael has been exposed to a vast array of peoples, cultures and places. Michael has lived in places such as Texas, California, Nevada, the Phillipines, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota and finally Colorado.

He achieved his B.F.A.; Magna Cum Laude in Visual Arts with specific emphasis in Studio Painting & Drawing, from Bemidji State University in beautiful northern Minnesota. Shortly after graduation in 1995, Michael discovered the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, and that is where he has lived ever since. He started off in the Vail Valley and then the stunning mountain region near Telluride, and now serves the design needs of the whole Western Slope of Colorado including Telluride, Montrose, Grand Junction, Durango, Ridgway, Olathe, and more.

Michael is an avid Radio Control aircraft enthuisiast. If he isnt in the office designing, you can probably find him flying one of his many RC planes. If you are interested and would like to know more about the RC Aviaiton sport, contact Michael and he would be very happy to help. More information about RC Aviation can be found online at: coloradogliders.com

Aa an active professional in the Art, Web, Graphic & Multimedia design industry for over ten years, Michael doesn't see any creative project as being a roadblock, but just another hurdle to conquer.

That way there will be no regrets"
