Artist Statement
I am primarily a self-taught artist and have pursued artistic endeavors most of my life. My art is an exploration of landscapes, both real and imagined. Working in acrylics and watercolors, my paintings reflect the influences of impressionist painting, a long-time interest in architecture, and the dramatic lighting of the theatre.
Rusty Hevelin, Toastmaster:
Rusty is an extremely welcome fixture as ICON’s Toastmaster, attending every ICON but one. He’s been in fandom since the early forties.
