Michael King was born in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. His interest in art began with drawing and wood carving at an early age and painting has now become his “all consuming” passion.

Michael studied industrial design at Carleton University in Ottawa and pursued a career as a product designer, living and working for a brief time in Japan before establishing his design firm in Vancouver. Currently he chooses to focus on plein air painting as it provides a deeper challenge.

He now resides in Port Coquitlam with his wife and two beautiful daughters, where he paints in pastels and oils. His work appears in private collections throughout Canada, and he has been fortunate to win awards in a variety of exhibitions and competitions.
