In1984 Puppeteer Bil Baird wrote me a letter after seeing a painting of mine in an exhibition at the Salmagundi club in New York.
This is the painting Bil Baird bought. It was painted in my early 20's. I don't have a better reproduction of it unfortunately.
It was really thrilling for me to receive his letter. I was a big fan of his and it really was amazing that out of the blue that he wanted the painting for his collection.
I don't remember what year it was but I got to meet Bil in New York at his apartment. We talked a lot about art and puppets and I shot these photos of him and some of his marionettes below.
