Mike the Wandering Bard
Facebook: Mike the Wandering Bard
“My whole life I’ve been stricken with wanderlust, an insatiable curiosity, and the compulsion to create.”
As an artist and musician Mike has experimented in every genre and medium he has encountered, and while there are a few perennial favorites, his output has tended to be extremely eclectic. Besides art and music, Mike enjoys crafting in leather, wood, paper, and other mediums.
After squandering a couple decades pursuing a marriage, house, and career, Mike abandoned his pretense of trying to be happy with those things, and decided to focus on what’s important to him. He spends summers with family on the Maine coast, and winters exploring this big and complicated country.
