My life philosophy can be summed up line from my story painting, Flowers Bursting Loud..
Today
I am all I can be.
I accept myself and live joyfull
There is no need to be strongest or best.
To share from my heart is my only quest
We add love to the world
Michael grew up in San Luis Obispo, and studied art at Cal Poly, and at Cal.
State Northridge. He holds a bachelor degree in art, and teaching credentials
in Art, English, Multiple Subject and Special Education. His 10 years of full time
schooling matches that needed to become a doctor. For 25 years he has lead art classes and
special education classes in public schools,
residential facilities, homes and treatment centers.
He has been active in Toastmasters International for 15 years, and holds the
highest educational honor, that of Distinguished Toastmaster.
“I have been praised for the patience I consistently demonstrate in my teaching. Unlike a
doctor though, my patients are not the paying kind. I have learned over the years that it has ]
paid to have patience. From each experience a friendship has been made or a connection
has been gained. When I show my work, I sell something and inspire a child, I have done well.
Anything better than that is swell. Most days, life is swell!”
His commissions include work for the San Luis Obispo Symphony, Dr. Michael Kazak, the Central
Coast Counseling Center, Santa Maria Bonita School District, and Arbor View Retirement Center.
Michael exhibits his artwork in the Town Center Gallery in Santa Maria and at art, wine and music
festivals and fairs on the central coast. He is the program director of the Los Padres Artist Guild
and the Education Director of the Town Center Gallery.
