Mike and Conrad did a great and efficient job and I had to trust them as I had no idea how you got a back-wall mural over a pool executed . The mural matched the image he showed us beforehand ; they kept the place clean and tidy and were very friendly and easy going. When the family expands they will be back to add more animals ! They are great at Australian natives and I highly recommend the experience . Everyone who sees it is amazed

Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is so incredibly talented and painted the most spectacular mural on the wall at our beach house. He was open to ideas and was happy to keep going back and forth until I was happy. What a pleasure it was and was a breathtaking mural, thank you so much Mike!

About
Mike is a painter and multidisciplinary artist working across various media, including large-scale murals, canvas, illustration, and sculptures. Mike moved to New York in his early 20’s, spending five years immersed in its vibrant art scene—a period that sparked a globe-trotting journey. His work has taken him across the world, from painting on the Berlin Wall to the banks of the River Ganges, to Brazilian Favelas to deep into Australian Aboriginal communities. His art explores a world where nature pushes back against humanity’s relentless expansion, reclaiming its place from an unsympathetic civilization. By focusing on the tension between human, animal, and machine, Maka delivers a powerful message—urging us to step beyond the concrete jungle and reconnect with nature, and with the wildness within ourselves. A long time member of Everfresh Studio, Mike has exhibited extensively across Australia and internationally. His work is held in both private and public collections worldwide, including the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Sandrew Collection, and MONA Tasmania. Although known to wander in other dimensions, Mike is based between New York City and Melbourne, Australia.
