There's a real consistency to your work, Michael. I like how original each one is, yet I can tell that YOU took these shots. You are the kind of artist that one says "Ah! Yes! I suspect that this is another piece by, " Michael Khoury ". You have something to say and you are saying it through your work. It's refreshing to see this kind of dedication to consistency. Good job. I'm going to keep my eye on your work. It's already going places! -Laura Swan
