Michael Hoeweler is from a small, rural-yet-suburban area outside of Cincinnati, Ohio. He left the cornfields and bucolic landscape behind for Baltimore, Maryland, where he graduated with a BFA in illustration from the Maryland Institute College of Art. The eastern seashore has treated him well, and he's made his way up from Baltimore to New York City, where he currently lives and works. His interests lie in art and design, fashion, music, culture, social theory and the great American landscape.
