"We hire Michael for our Annual Holiday Gala to paint at the event to be auctioned at the end of the night, and his work raises the most bids out of all our donated items. His spinning easel is incredible and he is so fast at painting an amazing image that always matches our theme. I HIGHLY recommend Michael for any high end charity events for entertainment that is pretty impressive. "
