Michael Gunderson

Michael comes to BARN with 50 years experience teaching art. He started teaching painting and drawing in Southern California in the early '70s and his last public school position was as lead teacher and administrator in charge of creating a small public high school in central California. After teaching multiple elective subjects, he always had his love of drawing and painting as his security blanket. Adventures lead him to Canada and San Diego where he was active in drawing groups and watercolor societies. His move to Bainbridge introduced him to BARN where he served in a leadership role in the Woodworking Studio.
Two years ago, the sketchbook called and he formed regular drop-in drawing sessions in the BARN commons. This interest has, in turn, lead to his participation in the new Drawing & Painting studio. His main interest remains with the refinement of his drawing skills, and the drawing skills of others.
