Drew Mills singing “What a Wonderful World" (accompanied by Stan Muraski)

E. ANDREW MILLS (American, 1928 – 2007)
Most of my art is inspired by the environment and living things in the world around us. As the composition develops, space, form and texture are fused into a highly personal quilt-like image. My early background as a studio artist/teacher of ceramics, jewelry and sculpture has been an ongoing influence in all of my work.
