Mike Raysor's Bio

Michael L. Raysor Jr. was born and raised in Newark, NJ. He began his journey in fine arts at St. Benedict’s Preparatory (SBP) under the guidance and tutelage of Department Chair, Pamela Wye-Hunsinger. He continues to this day to carry on the values, lessons and fortitude that he gained from SBP. The school, whose mantra remains, “Benedicts hates a quitter,” helped to instill in him the drive to continue to grow, despite circumstance. From this idea and the inspiration gained from a very memorable painting in SBP’s halls, Mike crafted a self-identity logo.

Since his time at SBP, he has continued through the years with self-study and an additional course in the arts. Aspiring to further develop his design skills, he taught himself Adobe Illustrator, Indesign, and Photoshop, Procreate as well as quite a few others.

Mike’s development as an artist translates the inevitability of change. In this capacity for learning and adaptability, the work produced is at times emotional at times goofy but always unfettered creativity.

A graduate of Villanova University with a degree in Marketing and a minor in Japanese, Mike is an award-winning Marketer and coast hopper. He currently resides in Newark, NJ, exploring the architecture, passions and humanity of the people and the city. .
