Press & recognition
From a first exhibition to paintings with a place in the city they celebrate.
The Irish News · 11 April 2009
The Irish News introduced readers to Michael’s artwork as he prepared for his first exhibition at Gormley’s Gallery in Belfast. The feature connected his working life as a tiler with his longstanding love of painting and the step of sharing his work with a wider audience.
A summary of the original feature. The newspaper clipping will be added when a suitable copy is available.
Art in the city
Four of Michael’s paintings are displayed in Belfast City Council offices. He has recently completed a painting of Belfast City Hall at the council’s request, with handover awaiting confirmation.
This records Michael’s artistic history and does not imply a formal council endorsement.
