In Michaels young years he attended a private grade school for talented children, where's artwork flourished. But by the time he reached College he could not afford to attend Art School. Over the next 40 years he worked retail jobs until moving to Santa Fe two years ago with the help of a art therapist he rediscovered his many talents.
