Michael J. Lude:
Master Muralist & Fine Art Portrait Painter
Michael J. Lude is an elite professional artist and muralist dedicated to elevating the "New Level" of contemporary realism. As a primary visionary behind MJL Entwined Art, Michael has become a trusted name for high-profile institutions, including ProFed Credit Union and 3Rivers Federal Credit Union, where his large-scale paintings serve as permanent cultural anchors.
With a career defined by technical precision and a "fluid" creative approach, Michael specializes in capturing the spirit of his subjects across oil, pencil, and mixed media. His work ranges from massive historical murals to intimate family legacies, each accompanied by his signature hyperlapse process videos and regular visual updates. Deeply committed to the community, Michael has leveraged his craft to help raise over $40,000 for non-profits and charities. By blending world-class skill with a genuine priority for client kindness, Michael Lude ensures that every commission is not just a painting, but a lasting milestone.
"On a personal note, I believe every project is an opportunity to connect. Whether we are discussing a large-scale corporate mural or a small family portrait, I look forward to bringing a spark of kindness to our collaboration. — Michael"
