• DU and Student Work

“It is my strong belief that students, who have been shaped on their path toward maturity with different circumstances and experiences than many of their teachers, deserve a well-rounded pluralistic education so that they may discover their own voice, find their own way, and genuinely contribute to the dialogue of their times. Many of my former students are currently very active in their fields of endeavor, with numerous grants, commissions, books & publications, and exhibitions to their credit. I am proud to have played a small part in their growth and success.”
