About the Author
William M. Waters taught English, creative writing, and journalism for 43 years. He spent the beginning of his career in West Baltimore at the original Frederick Douglass High School, in the same building where Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall, and jazz singer, Cab Calloway graduated from the Baltimore City Public Schools. He later taught for two decades at Notre Dame Preparatory School in Towson, MD, and then retired after 17 years at The Bryn Mawr School of Baltimore. He wrote frequently about the Baltimore arts scene in the 70s and 80s, including articles about painters Grace Hartigan, Raoul Middleman, and many others. Here he returns to a favorite subject. James W. Voshell: His Life and Art is his first book. He lives with his wife in Norrisville, MD.
