Now retired from teaching, he has embarked on a second career as a professional artist.

Michael Ewart has had no formal art training - but Ewart's studies of past masters, especially 20th century English painters, is evident in the way he has developed as a contemporary artist. He has taken inspiration from artists such as Sickert, Coldstream and Pasmore who have influenced the way in which he has developed.
