In choosing color for a personal or commercial space, one must first understand that color does not exist without light. The quality of light is the number one way the use of color is affected and interpreted by the mind’s eye. As a result of years of study and application of what Michael has learned of the relationship between light and color, he prefers to use the pure colors used by the most accomplished of artists throughout history and across the world. All one has to do is close their eyes and envision the rich, warm tones experienced during a New England, European, or Tropical travel experience to get an appreciation of these colors. It is not until we leave behind the colors we have become accustomed to in our daily lives that we can truly appreciate the richness different values of light bring into our color experience.
