I know Mr. Wright personally because we attended college together, but more, he is one of my dearest friends. I certainly can attest that he is one of the most diligent and disciplined men I know, and like most artists, when he is creating a body of work, his focus is laser sharp. I am most familiar with his earlier work, but it stands as foundation to his more current pieces.
