I am very proud to be a 1998 graduate of the Indiana University M.F.A. program, where I learned from many fine painters, especially Bonnie Sklarski, Barry Gealt and Robert Barnes.

I am also very happy and grateful that the Alumni Association chose to include me in the Spring 2018 edition of their magazine with a feature on the upcoming Renaissance Retreat.

Special thanks to the Associate Editor, Bill Elliott.
