Michael Palasits was born and raised in Columbia, Maryland. Though his studies centered around Electrical/Computer Engineering, his appreciation for visual art grew slowly but surely.

Micah Mullen's style of painting involves a complicated background of hundreds of grids of varying colors. When done the background will loosely look like the intended composition. From there he concentrates on adding detail to segments of the painting. This method allows the most expression because different parts are all done at different times. Patience and time allows his paintings to reflect his varying emotions and moods and in a strange way create a sense of balance and harmony in what are sometimes very detailed and confusing compositions.

She chooses smaller pieces of wood that will be enhanced with Stone like turquoise, lapis, malachite or chrysocolla, and inlays these into the cracks and voids.
