His skills with the airbrush led him to be contacted by the Postmodern architect Robert Venturi and a 25 year collaboration with his firm ensued that included several exceptional commissions. Michael continued doing his own work, which was sold through galleries and art representatives.
As times changed he became frustrated with the gallery owners who sometimes didn't want his new work. Watching his wife, Nina, taking her work to the street, he decided it was time for him to give art fairs a try, intrigued with the idea of interacting directly with potential collectors and removing the filter of the galleries.
Always inspired by a sense of the light, the increasing suburban landscape and his childhood upbringing in Levittown, several glowing dreams made him pull out his soft pastels and he began drawing from memory. He says, "the colors in my dreams were incredibly vivid, and it turned out pastel was a perfect medium due to the pure pigment used in making them."
