Michael Upton (1938–2002) was born in Birmingham and after studying at the Birmingham College of Art he went on to the Royal Academy Schools where his friends included David Hockney. While he was still a student he was awarded a Leverhulme Scholarship and an Abbey Scholarship, which led him to study for a while in Rome. He was also the winner of the Cassandra Foundation Award (William Copley), New York, and a major South West Arts award. He exhibited widely, having several solo shows in London, mainly at the Anne Berthed Gallery, as well as in New York in 1987 at the Yale Centre for British Art and the Anthony Ralph Gallery in New York. He also took part in numerous group shows, from the First Day Covers exhibition in what was then the Newlyn Orion Gallery, in 1980, to Artists Against Apartheid at the Royal Festival Hall in 1985.
