Michael Ashcroft grew up in a small village in the heart of Lancashire. After leaving school in 1985 he began his career as an engineer, painting and sketching only in his spare time. In 1998 he had a major operation to remove a brain tumour and decided to paint more seriously, prompting a return back to college.

His paintings have evolved over the years from early abstract acrylics to using oils and more representational works painted on location. The foundation that underpin his paintings hasn’t changed – his fascination with light and dark and his love for the city and the landscape.

Michael is a member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts and has exhibited in The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Royal Society of British Artists, The Howard De Walden Exhibition and The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London.
