Hello, I’m Michael — an artist and maker whose practice is fundamentally shaped by how I experience attention, time, and sensory detail.
I’m a lifelong observer of details both ordinary and strange.
I’m neurodivergent, and my way of experiencing the world strongly informs how I work. I’m drawn to close observation, repetition, and processes that allow ideas to unfold slowly. My practice sits at the intersection of creativity, curiosity, and making things by hand, with a focus on materials that invite touch and time: resin, polymer clay, drawing, painting, and ideas that begin as quiet thoughts and gradually take form.
Whether I’m experimenting with new techniques, refining small objects, or exploring visual storytelling, I’m interested in how meaning can live inside everyday things. I value process as much as outcome — the false starts, revisions, and moments where something unexpected suddenly works.
I’m currently studying Fine Art, and this blog is a place for me to document that journey: the creative experiments, practical lessons, questions, and inspirations that shape my work. It’s also a space where I reflect on how making, learning, and problem-solving are influenced by my neurodivergent perspective.
Alongside art, I’m interested in thoughtful design and building sustainable creative practices that respect time, attention, and wellbeing. You’ll find reflections here on materials, tools, ideas, and occasionally the wider world that quietly influences the studio.
This space isn’t about perfection — it’s about paying attention, staying curious, and continuing to make things even when the path isn’t clear yet.
Thanks for being here.
