Meet our Faculty and Staff – Dominicana

Michael P. Carson, Dean, and Instructor, is a contemporary representationalist oil painter engaged in the production of a body of works ranging from imaginative realism to outright surrealism. Informed by an enduring interest in philosophy, science, and social behavior, each of Michael’s works attempts to capture a contemplative moment of inner reflection, focusing on themes of ideology, ontology, and various perversions of both. He is committed to exploring mankind’s relationship with its ideas, beliefs, technologies, and itself in confrontation with the post-industrial human condition.

Born in New Jersey and raised in the northeastern United States, Michael first studied electrical engineering, but then changed course to pursue a passion for art. He received a BFA in studio arts in 2013 with high honors, spent a few years as a life-drawing instructor, then left academia to become the creative director for the largest promotional products company in Pennsylvania. He has since returned to a full-time pursuit of fine art.

Fraelo, instructor, was born in the town of Rio San Juan. Since he was very young, he always found himself drawn to art. He was eager to participate in school exhibitions and realized he was very pleased that his ideas found life on paper. Fraelo remained dedicated to art and focused solely on improving his skills while enrolled in the ÀNI Art Academies program. Fraelo is currently an instructor at ÀNI Art Academies Dominicana.
