Michael Israel is a world-renowned performance artist whose electrifying shows and donated artwork have raised millions of dollars in funds and support for first responders, fallen heroes, and their families. Known as the “Rock Star of Live Art,” he creates massive, breathtaking portraits in minutes, set to music that moves audiences to tears, cheers, and action.

For decades, Michael has dedicated his talent to honoring those who serve and sacrifice. His paintings have become powerful symbols at firefighter, police, military, and community events nationwide—reminders of courage, sacrifice, and unity.
