A TREAT FOR LOVERS OF COLLAGE:
I was introduced to collage in 1977 by Keith Martin who at the time had a solo exhibit at the Baltimore Museum of Art. He had been working and supporting himself as an artist since 1933 when he first showed at the Julian Levy Gallery. I owe him much more than I could ever repay for the many things he taught me about the special thing we call being an artist. Our talks were about ... (view this exhibition)
THIRTY_ONE YEARS OF COLLAGE:
My interest came through my artist friend Keith Martin who was also a mentor to me. We met shortly after I viewed his solo showing of collage at the Baltimore Museum Of Art. Shortly after he came to a small show of mine and we were introduced by mutual friend. He taught me so much more than technique, of which he only spoke, he taught me the values and essence and solitude an artist must ... (view this exhibition)
