Michael Schroeder was born and raised on the inner city streets of New Orleans by a strict yet comedic father and a somewhat bohemian mother who separated when he was five. Michael took life's lessons in stride, duking it out on these urban thoroughfares. Michael began revealing his passion for art at a somewhat early age, usually drawing and sketching for his teachers as a barter for getting out of doing his homework. He graduated from high school designing and painting the banners that led him and his senior class on the path to adulthood. Ultimately, he attended the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts and Delgado Community College to refine his talents and visions.
Michael is a member of the Hammond Regional Arts Center and registered with the Louisiana Arts Council. He currently owns Hammond City Tattoo Company, and enjoys painting in his home studio in Hammond, Louisiana. Michael is always willing to donate his time and talents to the community. |
