Michael was born with a hole in his heart in Kasama, then in Northern Rhodesia, in 1958, the son of a District Officer. After a life of conventionality he rejected his Masters degree (Biological Sciences 2.1 Hons) in favour of becoming an artist & poet. He moved to Paris and then Glasgow to pursue his artistic passions. His poetry was regularly published and in 1994 he established his studio in Lewes, Sussex. Just as he was finding success with a number of solo exhibitions, on October 23rd 1995 he tragically succumbed to his childhood heart condition, aged only 37.
