I learned a lot from painting onsite at the great Field Museum. I admire his work, and am still taken by the great "History of New Orleans" monumental (32"H x 17'W) ink on paper work of his that I own.

Thought you may enjoy my quote: Studying at The Art Institute of Chicago has been an exceptional innovative & learning experience. Prior attending SAIC I researched a number of schools, including the Hochschule fuer Bildende Kuenste in Berlin and Duesseldorf to follow my interest in sculpture combining Kinetic and Sound Art. SAIC's great Kinetic depart- ment demonstrated the strongest genre- voice, and this were my experience at SAIC began. I was able to independently foloow my interdisciplinary interest in research, philosophy, kinetic-and sound art, and sculpture while developing a paradigm of experimental innovative sculptural works in process and Installations in my spacious studio on campus. Professor Steve Waldeck's (founder of SAIC's Kinetic sculpture department) collaboration, excellent advise & lectures correlated with his unique visual diagram blackboard- drawings in Kinetics linked to abstract sculpture and light art remain an important and plausible resource whenever I begin a fresh sculpture series, or teach studio programs in sculpture to students at The Art Students League of New York.
