Michael Foley is a freelance artist whose work shows nationally and internationally. An Independent comic creator, and an art teacher who has taught various workshops,
private instruction and academic teaching.
Michael's works are deceptively layered. Hidden underneath the saturated colors and cartoon-like imagery you find mature works looking deeply into the human condition.
Questioning various aspects of our society, challenging these norms while attempting to create work that appears light-hearted on first viewing. These works often
deal with issues of insecurity, loss, betrayal, rejection and hope. Often told through a sardonic narrative.
Michael Foley is available for commissioned works, private tutoring, workshops, live painting events, set painting, mural work and various public art projects.
