In 1963, and "fresh out of the oven",

I was fortunate to meet Edith Harper, PhD.

a visiting professor of Psychology at Rutgers University.

She was developing a Speech Therapy technique

that employed painting and drawing to help her clients

discover their "inner selves."

Her technique, plus many, many years of friendship

helped me find mine.

I credit her help in any, and all, successes that I have had

in my personal and artistic life.
