A couple of years after I first moved to Nashville, I attended an exhibit entitled,"Witness To Our Century: An Artistic Biography of Fritz Eichenberg", put together by Vanderbilt University. Seeing this exhibit was one of those moments in my life that has given me the desire to work hard at making excellent art and always seeking to allow my work to express the complexity of emotions and meanings I feel are present in my work. I still feel I struggle with getting that full expression communicated. Much of my work is very light-hearted but in my head there is so much more drama and depth. Alas, for me, my work will never be perfect, but every artist finds room for improvement for themselves. Here are some illustrations by Fritz Eichenberg from books I have collected in the years since that exhibit.

Wuthering Heights

Tales of Edgar Allen Poe

Heroes of the Kalevela

Reynard the Fox

Gulliver's Travels

Crime and Punishment
