| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
The fascination that I have when I
view the works of many artists and wonder at the creative energy that they bring to their work. The incredible variety of subject matter and artistic mediums that they use are a testimony to
the remarkable versatility of the human spirit. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
After retiring from MIT I sought out new avenues for my creativity. I had been acting in a local theater group for many years and had also been a member of the Mishawum Choral Society. I had a regular program on Burlington Cable Access TV called "Vins Favorite Films" where I regularly reviewed classic films that I admired. I became aware of art classes being given at the Burlington Senior Center and became enthralled by the wonderful things that could be accomplished through artistic expression. |
