Thanks, everyone!
I sincerely appreciate all of your input. On my list, I had Will Hillenbrand
and Denise Fleming, to name a few, but Elijah pierce fits the bill perfectly!
Funny, when I was attending Ohio State and visiting schools, many of the art
teachers were using Elijah Pierce in their lessons, but I never connected that
he lived in Ohio. Duh! Seems so obvious now!! :)
