On the Cover
Charles Ford spent seventeen years as a mechanical engineer in Houston before, in 1980,
he moved to New York to become a professional artist. Nine years later, he moved to Colorado
County. His work is included in the collection of the Museum of the City of New York, and in
numerous private collections. He has had many exhibits in New York galleries, and has exhibited
at the Live Oak Art Center in Columbus. His cover drawing is a depiction of the original Colorado
College building in Columbus.
