In 2003 he was awarded an Artist Fellowship from the Colorado Council on the Arts. Additionally, he received a Faculty Development Grant and has twice been recognized for an Excellence in Teaching Award. Michael has exhibited his work in sculpture gardens and galleries nationally and internationally. Selected outdoor exhibitions are the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland, FL, Ford Sculpture Park in Vail, CO, and Platte Forum in Denver, CO.
