Hello! I'm Michael a self taught artist out of Charlotte North Carolina. Art is something I’ve always loved and was very quiet about growing up. I didn’t realize that I had a natural ability to create art until about 13 years of age. I had members of my family that already had discovered their own gift in art. I remember drawing a picture for the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E) program back in middle school when I realized my gift in portrait drawing. My first portrait of the Hip Hop group Kris Kross was my first public creation. Later on it was drawing Marvel characters because I was so fascinated by their details. Showing my oldest brother to see what he thought of them because I was so excited of the outcome. I used to doodle here and there particularly on the telephone something I picked up from my mother. I was always drawing faces of people and was so keen on making sure it had their likeness. I did not take it seriously until 2019. That is when I created Michaels Mind Sketches and Art . Now the gift that I’ve been given I want to share it with the world!
