About Me

I'm an oil painter in Lafayette Louisiana specializing in human figure. I work both in highly representational and accurate paintings as well as more abstract figurative work.

My current painting projects involve accurate portraits depicting vintage fashion (Victorian, Edwardian, through Midcentury), I've also got a series of dreamlike abstracts with bold colors in progress.

In addition to painting I'm also engaged in analog photography.

I'm currently seeking people interested in art modeling (eg, holding still what your portrait is painted.) If interested in this kind of work please feel free to reach out. The work is paid.

Please see my website for a better portfolio. That's updated regularly but on this site I don't update very often. My instagram and tiktok are both sgothicart.

"Michael is very professional, and was a blast to work with. It's really neat to see his art progress from a blank canvas to a work of art, can't wait to go to Sunday Salon again be it for an art pose, or to do some drawings." Read less
