About Michael Naples:

Michael Naples is an artist from the Chicago area where he earned his BFA degree from the American Academy of Art. In 2001 he was accepted into the Society of Illustrators and published in their annual.

For the next decade he would do various illustration jobs, murals, and many, many commissioned portraits for people all over the US. But it wasn't until a chance encounter with an article about Daily Painting that he found his passion for oils. He began his own Daily Painting Project in August 2006 and hasn't lost a bit of momentum.

Michael has won numerous awards and had several articles published about his paintings. His most recent accomplishment is being invited into the elite Daily Painting group at DailyPaintworks.com.

His Daily Paintings have been purchased by collectors all over the world including Australia, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Canada, Sweden and almost every state in the US.

Currently Michael lives with his wife Shelly and daughter Lucy in Wheaton, IL.
