Contemporary sculptor, Mike Roig, lives and works in Carrboro, North Carolina where he and his wife, author-artist Clay Carmichael, maintain the Heartworks Studio. A graduate of University of Maryland where he majored in studio art, his work has been collected widely in both public and private collections.

Mike Roig's sculptures are welded constructions in stainless steel and recycled mild steels. Triangle residents will be familiar with his much visited downtown-Carrboro sculpture studio, his kinetic sculptures Promethean Honor Guard at Chapel Hill's Firehouse No.1 and Glimpses of the Promised Land in Raleigh's Chavis Park, among others. Many of Mike's pieces grace public and private collections in the US and Canada. Increasingly known for his large, kinetic sculptures, his work, figurative and abstract, explores sculptural forms from the monumental to the intimately scaled.
