Many individuals and organizations have helped Michael along the way, by
ordering paintings and notecards, which help pay for art supplies and allow
Michael to keep painting every day. The Kotlinski family at
Love and Learning first gave Michael the possibilities of The Internet. They gave
him space on their website, a computer of his own, and a year on the
internet. Michael is very excited about learning how to use the computer,
sending emails, and corresponding with other artists. Because of the
generosity of Love And Learning, Michael is able to share his art with many
more people.
Love and Learning helps special needs children develop vocabulary and learn
speech and reading skills at an early age, with video tapes, audio tapes,
books and computer programs. There is even a CD available that teaches
young children how to use the computer and has some of Michael's images in a
reading puzzle game.
