mansion formerly owned by Gloria Swanson; numerous parade floats; props and dressing for Stratford
Festival and design of Ontario Place Children’s Park; announcer for CBC radio in Windsor and appeared

the MOR project:
The legacy of his work and the contribution Michael made to his community will be honoured through the formation of a foundation whose sole purpose is to offer financial assistance to artists. This will be achieved by the sale of his work, through interested galleries, agencies, supporters of the arts and “the MOR project” website.Donations:
