Michael Wilkinson served in the Air Force as an illustrator. Posted in Japan, Wilkinson studied Japanese art and architecture. The harmony and elegance of the Japanese aesthetic made an impression on him and he integrated its principles into his thoughts. Wilkinson traveled to Europe in 1978 where he studied the great works of ancient Greeks and Michelangelo. When he finished his trip, he moved to New York City and worked on mastering the fundamentals of sculpture. It wasn't until 1985 in Carmel, California, when Wilkinson was introduced to the young medium of cast acrylic. This became the medium of choice because unlike the traditional, these had no beginning and no end, no back and no front. They can be viewed in many ways, seeing a different view from each side. Wilkinson constantly expanded his talent to sculpt "light" and has advanced the art form into unique patterns of optical illusion.
