About the Artist

Mike’s Mission…

At the heart of my creative journey lies a passion for transforming the everyday into the extraordinary. As an award-winning graphic designer and watercolour artist based in North Cardiff, I have spent over 20 years crafting unique gift products for leading retailers such as W H Smith, Clinton Cards, National Trust, CADW and many hundreds of independent retail groups. Now, I channel my artistic vision into capturing the soul of urban environments through watercolour and pen and ink.

I believe art should evoke emotion, inspire imagination, and offer a fresh perspective on the world around us. My work reflects this ethos by reimagining iconic landmarks, vibrant street scenes, and cherished spaces with a unique, expressive use of colour. By embracing the hues I feel rather than the ones I see, I invite viewers to experience familiar places in an entirely new light—where grass might be blue, trees purple, and the ordinary transformed into something magical.

Whether I am painting a bustling street, a quiet village, or a treasured personal scene, my mission is to create meaningful art that resonates deeply with its audience.

Through commissioned pieces, I offer the gift of capturing your special memories and places in a way that is both personal and timeless. Let’s create something extraordinary together.

I wish you the best of luck with your business, enjoy the adventure.
