As a former art educator, Michael has developed a wide network of friends and associates in the art world with whom he networks, sharing knowledge and skills.

A people person, he is available for consultation or private tuition on a wide variety of art related topics, including painting, drawing, and photography techniques.

Consultation or tuition can vary from formal arrangements for a fee or more informal mentoring type arrangements. In this way, he continues to both be stimulated by other people and to provide personal guidance and counsel, particularly to other emerging artists, a quality that was his hallmark as successful art educator.
