Mike is known in Britain and internationally as a painter, etcher, writer, teacher and television personality. In March 2011, Mike was awarded the prestigious Turner Watercolour Award given annually during the Royal Watercolour Society Spring Exhibition. His love of painting was found early. From the age of 12 he knew what he wanted from his life, and has been lucky (and hard-working) enough to achieve this. A lifelong love of watercolour was rewarded in 1993 with his election as Associate of the Royal Watercolour Society, and his elevation to full member in 1997. Mike’s work, both in painting and printmaking, has made him one of Britain’s most well-known painters, and he is represented in many public and private collections worldwide, including those of HM The Queen, ex-King Constantine of the Hellenes, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, The Ashmolean Museum Oxford, The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, and the Daily Express (mural for the Boardroom).
