As a former owner of The Red Piano Gallery, Hilton Head Island, SC (1980 - 1995) and founder of The Red Piano Too, St. Helena Island (1990-1992), I exhibited and enjoyed the friendship of many of America's illustrator greats. These included Coby Whitmore, Joe Bowler, Joe De Mers, Bernard D’Andrea, Ralph Ballantine, Ben Stahl and Murray Tinkelman among others.
