Durante varios años, Michael Hoey ha dado continuidad a su estudio que aborda no solo el movimiento del cuerpo, sino las formas y actitudes del ser humano. Perspectivas inesperadas y paisajes surrealistas sumergen a la audiencia en las pinturas. Colores intensos y tonos contrastantes perturban el equilibrio compositivo y crean inquietudes.

Su trabajo está dedicado a restaurar la belleza humana a su lugar legitimo como obra de arte fino. Sus pinturas le han permitido ser parte de un movimiento para sanar la forma en que el ser humano experimenta su propia imagen corporal, al trabajar con sensibilidad y respeto, con hombres y mujeres de todas las edades, con diferentes capacidades y estilos de vida. 

La amplia gama de intereses y experiencias de vida como Investigador Forense, Capitán de Bomberos, diseñador de muebles, muralista y pintor, han creado una especie de hombre renacentista moderno. Sus aptitudes y áreas de conocimiento se reflejan e incorporan en su arte.

Michael Hoey es originario de Bozeman, Montana. Ha trabajado en diferentes técnicas como la cerámica, el grabado, la pintura, la pirotecnia y pintura con materiales empleados en pirotecnia, pastel, encáustica, óleo, dibujo, aguafuerte, mono tipo, fotografía y escultura.

Asistió a la Universidad Estatal de Montana, estudiando con Maestros como John Bashor, Rick Pope, Fran Noel y Michael Peed.

Estuvo como director de la Galería Exit de la misma universidad y pintó el mural más grande del Estado de Montana, llamado el "Centennial Mural" que se inauguró durante la celebración del Centenario de la ciudad de Bozeman.

Sus obras son parte de colecciones privadas y públicas en Estados Unidos y México. Ha participado en diversas exposiciones individuales y colectivas en su país de origen, mientras que, en México, de 2016 a la fecha, ha exhibido sus obras en exposiciones individuales, así como en galerías propias que ha abierto por temporadas.

A través del arte, con la subasta y donación de la venta de algunas de sus obras, ha podido contribuir en México, a que algunos estudiantes puedan concluir sus estudios. También ha sido creador y promotor de eventos de arte infantil, teniendo como objetivo principal, compartir con las familias la importancia de apoyar a los niños para el desarrollo de sus talentos y capacidades.
