Authentic Portraits By Maurice

I created visual art my entire life. Some of my earliest memories include artmaking. My career began as an illustrator for magazines and books. My earliest technique of drawing and coloring with pencils was used in the creation of my book’s artwork. Other mastered techniques include: mixed media, collage, painting and photography. Writing and illustrating books –especially children’s is my current focus. Michael Discovers the Secrets of Jazz is my authorial debut. Another book is in the works. This is an exciting time. Finally, there are many stories to tell. All the bits and pieces of a lifetime of talking, listening, watching and reading are at my fingertips. Now is my time to write! I hope you enjoy my stories.
