Painter - Graphic Artist - Architect ![]() ![]() ![]() |
If
art is the window to a person's soul, Michael Fuchs has opened a window
for me to a beautiful place. The view from this window is thoughtful,
provocative, sensitive, compassionate and insightful. I am sure that
once you have taken this journey, you too will find, "a beautiful
soul".
