He started off life going in a "sensible" direction, focussing on a trade, where he learned about engineering, metal working and fabrication. Progressing far within that line of work, he longed to express his creativity. He always had a passion for art and an interest in the natural world.His background ultimately served his creative pursuit of lost wax bronze, where he captures the essence of New Zealand birds in his stunning sculptures. Mike is a very good friend of mine, but he's also the only artist I have, and probably could share a studio with. If I turned the camera 180, you'd actually see his studio space, in many of my YouTube videos. We shared this space back in 2018-2020 and now he's back for round two! We're excited to be working together once again and looking forward to collaborating on some sculptural projects. Back to Mike - he had taken a brief hiatus from sculpting, to get into model-making. I must admit, I didn't understand this direction, but I have a new found appreciation for it, after I have seen the level he's got to with it. Here in New Zealand he's knocking out the competition as he cleans up, from show to show! We had a great chat her about art and life. It's a pleasure to share this with you. I hope you enjoy!To see more of Mike's work, click here: https://www.internationalartcentre.co.nz/gallery/Norris/Mike/
