The insight, sensitivity and wit with which he plies his art also serve to guide and nurture his students. He is a phenomenal teacher.
He claims to have never met an art material he didn't like. With respect for tradition unburdened by reverence; it is all art in the making.
Current work, Actual Depth as well as other Fabric works are on display at the Redbud Gallery the month of Sepetember.
