Michael Weymouth grew up in Maine and attended art school in Boston. Faced with the decision to become a painter or a designer, Michael chose the latter route, believing he could find time to paint along the way, a goal that became more and more elusive as the years went by. Early on Michael began shooting his own photography for the projects his firm designed and when he decided to retire, he published a book, How Photography Can Make You a Better Painter, with the goal of helping painters use their digital cameras to create better resource photos. In addition to How Photography Can Make You a Better Painter, he recently published Maine Island Time with Maine poet Elizabeth Garber and The Gentle Whisper of Living Things, which chronicles through photography and poetry his time spent at his Maine wilderness camp.

Michael presently resides in Hingham, Massachusetts with his wife Peggy.
