cmsa; photo (top); the time was 1978 thru 80, the place is ohio university grad school studio, ( in athens ohio) where i spent the greater part of two years...it worked for me to have two more years to focus exclusively on art and artists, before the burden of real life responsibilities (like making a living) took over. Ironically that was the last time i experienced full art "immersion" until i moved into my studio at the Los Angeles Brewery (two years ago)and am again enjoying a similar life style and culture. only 40 years have slipped by in between! Photo (bottom) is my studio today on open studio friday with painters Sia Dreyfuss and Crushow Herring....It's still wonderful, after all these years
