Ihe' ill!? "I was overwhelmed by the beauty found in them," he said. `They represent the struggle and the coexistence of humans vs. na- ture." The artworks he crafts are typ- ically in the range of 8 feet. They sometimes use letters, pieces from newspapers or magazines, or many other materials that would be thrown away by most. As an artist, he's also learning how to make a business work. The gallery, called Avraham's Studio and Fine Art Gallery, is a place to hang his art and work his art. "I'm just trying to make enough money to keep going," he said. "If I could spend most of my time painting, I'd be very happy. I'm still a new artist, and I think that new artists as well as their friends and other artists need to see that you won't quit in two years — that this is something you want to do." ❑ 109 N.
