The Art of
Michael Wecksler
Michael Wecksler was born in 1953 in Wiesbaden, Germany while his father was serving in the Air Force. He lived with his family in Turkey and Morocco and on numerous bases in the United States. His father retired from the military and settled in Riverside, Ca., where Michael attended primary and secondary school. He traveled extensively after leaving high school and lived in Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington. During that time he held various jobs and attended a number of junior colleges. He ďŹ nally settled in San Luis Obispo, California, where he graduated in 1984 with a journalism degree from California Polytechnic State University. He then moved to Siskiyou County, Ca., where he worked as an editor for two weekly newspapers and as a free-lance writer. He later worked for twenty-three years writing and implementing grants for a community development non-proďŹ t corporation before retiring. Wecksler has been interested in art all his life and took a few art classes during his college years but never seriously worked at it until he retired in 2013. At that time he joined the Mount Shasta ArtRoster group.
