Many of these paintings are on public display in banks, office buildings and private homes throughout Florida and the United States.
The lecture will be on Wednesday, November 8, 2018 from 11:00 am to 01:00 pm at the Appleton Museum of Art’s Auditorium, 4333 E. Silver Springs Blvd, Ocala, FL 34470.
