March 2026's Featured Artist
Artist: Mike A.
Piece: "York Peppermint Patty"
Agency: The Nemasket Group
Mike is 59 years old and lives with a roommate in a beautiful home in the center of Fairhaven. He is known for his love of all things sugary and sweet, especially cakes and candy! He has quite a fondness for York Peppermint Patties, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Hershey Kisses and cakes with lots of frosting, pink or teal in color to be exact! Mike loves the show 'Cake Boss' and has had experience working in a bakery and a local candy shop in the past. He's currently working with his employment specialist to find the right sweet spot for him again!
Art plays a big role in MIke's life. He enjoys painting and taking pictures with his camera. He loves to develop his photos and paint over them, creatively transforming faces and adding his own unique flair! Another of Mike's favorite things to do is combine his two greatest passions-art and sweets-by creating paintings inspired by sugar, candy and color. Through his artwork, he expresses his creativity, imagination and love for the sweeter things in life!
This 'York Peppermint Patty' canvas painting is Mike's latest project and adorns the wall in his 'man cave' at home. He is especially proud of how perfectly he blended the colors to match the original candy wrapper! Mike used a projector to trace the outline onto his canvas and then brought the image to life with his phenomenal painting skills! He'd love for others to see his work and hopes that his piece makes it into the calendar!
