Michael Broderick was born in a small town in upstate New York in the spring of '69. At an early age, Michael was drawn to arts and crafts, trying to create beauty where he felt none existed. And when his artistic eye eventually turned to male/male erotica, he sought to do the same with what was, and still is, often considered profane. With each new piece, Michael looks to validate queer sensibilities and present a version of male love (and lust) that many of us were denied growing up gay in America. Michael currently resides in Manhattan with his husband of 30+ years.
