Mike's main focus is to share a sense of Hawaii and its people. He says, "The beauty of Hawaii unfolds in large panoramic vistas, and in the smallest, most intimate studies. If the ability to convey the beauty of a subject comes across in my paintings, if you are able to see what drew me to paint the canvas, then I'll have succeeded in sharing my vision of Hawaii with you."
