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. Michael received a BFA at State University New York (SUNY) at Purchase and an MFA at Mills College, in Oakland, focusing on printmaking and painting. Currently, he taught several art classes at Menlo College and at West Valley College in Saratoga, Skyline College in San Bruno, and Stanford Continuing Studies and the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford in Palo Alto.
