teacher with master's degrees
in both literature and special

in visual arts began in the
late 1970's with an attraction
to the French impressionists.
Throughout the 1980's, his

sensitivities to subtle

development. Additional

drawing, and kinematics, honed
his existing skills for
portraying human ...
