Born in California and trained as an architect, Michael Wilkinson started his artistic career in New York in 1979. In 1985, Wilkinson transitioned from working uniquely in bronze to working in the young medium of cast acrylic. A forerunner in the medium, Wilkinson uses acrylic to create dreamlike worlds, communicating complex themes while still incorporating realism in his art.

"I believe art should uplift the human spirit. That is why I seek the ideal in my art, the ideal illuminates our potentialities. It is an affirmation of the best within us."
