Michael Hipkins was born in 1942 and received his art education at Blackpool College. He then went to Paris to study painting at the Academy de la Grande Chaumiere and Academie Julienne. He later studied etching and engraving at S W Hayter's Atelier 17. He became an Associate Member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 2003.

Many of his paintings are atmospheric and unashamedly nostalgic, many depicting areas in the north west of England. He has had one and two-man shows at Salford and Lancaster City Art Galleries, Atkinson, Howarth, Bury, Fylde and Harris Art Galleries, Harrod's Picture Gallery and the Gallery Not, in London plus many private galleries in the north west. He has also taken part in numerous mixed exhibitions including Scottish Royal Academy; Thompsons Gallery, Gagliardi Gallery & Argile Gallery, London.
