Everest Mike is an African Malawian visual artist born on 22. July 1997 in the capital city Lilongwe. Here is his story:

"I started doing art as a little boy, around the age of four. My mother Hopstill, who was a teacher, used to teach me stick figures and some other illustrations while teaching me English and French. I kept on sketching and drawing the shole of my primary and secondary level. In standard five my father Mr. Mike sometimes taught me cartoon drawing and school illustration so I could improve at school. Whilst at secondary I used to read art books like History of Art, and Designing and Printing Basics. In 2017, soon after completing the Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE), I started working with various artists. During the next two years I learned a lot from them. Then I met Andrew Missi, my mentor and art father. He passionately helped me during my year with him, where I greatly improved in professional art developing my own styles and techniques.

I believe in hard work, creativity, and passion. I am proud of being a visual artist. I love art. Since I started, I have never regretted my path in life.

I love to share art knowledge and skills with others who share my passion. To be an international visual artist is one of my goals."
