Michael Reilly studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in Birmingham in the 1920s. Little is known of his life, though he spent most of it living and working in the West Midlands. As a commercial artist, he received commissions from several railway companies, including the Great Western Railway, Southern Railway, and the London Underground, some of which are in the collection of the National Railway Museum in York.
