Michael D. Glinski alternates between two very different modes.

When he taps into his artistic side, Michael returns to his roots in the visual arts. Using the figure-painting, sculpture, graphics and photography skills he developed while earning his degree in fine arts, Michael pursues the perfect portrait. To him, "portrait" means the spirit and soul of the subject, whether it is a person of place.   “It is a combination," he says, “of lighting, camera work, attitude—and the digital paintbrush.”   Michael tells of the musician’s portrait he made recently. “He played the Ave Maria with such delicacy and emotion that we cried tears of joy.   I took him aside, recognizing how comfortable and confident he was in expressing his emotions through the violin.   When I convinced him to do that with his eyes, we got a great portrait. When you look into his eyes, you can feel the connection."

As a program manager, Michael writes and produces marketing and education programs, primarily in the health care field.  Mr. Glinski has over thirty years of experience—especially in diagnostic imaging—including business systems, customer support, education, program management, production, sales and marketing. Mr. Glinski is the associate editor of the A.C.C.M.E. accredited diagnostic imaging reference text Medical Imaging Consultant —now in its second printing of the third edition, and available for handheld P.D.A.s. Michael’s work includes co-authoring and producing education titles for the health care practitioners and consumers on the subject of informed participation in weighing the benefits and risks of diagnostic imaging exams. He is the associate editor of a web delivered proficiency program for physicians who order imaging tests, and has produced numerous Physician  Recognition Award category 1 accredited clinical education programs for radiologists and ordering physicians.  Michael developed an online program that profiles imaging centers, resulting in an intercomparable assessment that measures quality in the categories of policy, personnel and equipment. The program is being evaluated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for evaluating Medicare providers.
