My earliest influences were from this collection when I was a student at the Corcoran Gallery Art School for 2 years when I was eleven and twelve years old. The two paintings that influenced me the most and were before me all these years as I pursued my art career were: "The Last of the Buffalo" by Albert Bierstadt, and "Leisure and Labor" by Frank Blackwell Mayer.<br />

Visiting the Biblical sites that I have read about and studied. This came alive as I juxtaposed the paintings of the past with my recent visit. I imagined Delacroix, Gerome, Church and more who had a fascination for the region in the nineteen century. They were better known as the Orientalists.<br />
