"I'm driven by curiosity...where it comes from I can't tell you; it's just there. And early 20th-century modernist art is the thing that I keep returning to." - Michael Pauker

Bay Area artist and art educator Michael Pauker was born in New York in 1957 and knew he wanted to be an artist from the age of 15. He earned a Bachelor's in Fine Arts at SUNY Purchase in his native state of New York.
