Fine artist Mike Egan was born outside of Pittsburgh, PA. He took to art at a young age often tracing album art and the artwork that he saw in skateboard magazines. Mike went on to study fine art at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania where he focused on printmaking. After finishing school he found himself without the tools he needed to continue printmaking, so Mike took up painting. With no direction in the art world he knew that he needed a job that would help his journey until he figured out the art world.

So Mike made the decision to enroll at the Pittsburgh Institute Of Mortuary Science to become a funeral director and embalmer. Over the next five years Mike would work in funeral homes all while continuing his craft. In 2006 he would be in his first gallery show as an artist. It didn't take long for his work to spread to the west coast, back to the east coast and overseas. Mike continues to tell his stories of life, death and everything in between in the form of paintings and shows his work worldwide.
