multi-style approach. studied with joan brown, harold paris, karl kasten, peter voulkos and charlie kingery.
joan brown once said, in class, "everything has been done. there is nothing new under the sun." i lost all respect for her after that.
voulkos gave me some of my greatest advice. it was, "get it up! you gotta get it up!!!"
charlie kingery never said this to me but i learned it from him by his example and that was that i could do anything that anyone can do or has every done with their hands.
