Item Description

Mickael is Richmond-based artist, muralist and writer. He came to Richmond in 2001 intending to paint graffiti alongside his teenage idols—an act abruptly halted by his arrest in 2004 and subsequent 10-month jail term, but he went on to pursue a successful and active career in the arts. He was awarded a VMFA professional fellowship in 2008 for his gallery work and has painted numerous murals throughout Richmond and the U.S., most notably the interior and exterior of Mellow Mushroom in Carytown and "The Wizard" at the GRTC Bus Depot. Broth is an active member of the community and founder of Welcoming Walls, a project dedicated to bring large-scale public art to the highways and gateways of the city in effort to boost civic pride, tourism and Richmond’s reputation as a capital of creativity.
