Contributor and amateur artist, Glenn S. Michaels, attended the Center for Creative Studies (now the College of Creative Studies) in Detroit between 1979 and 1980. During this time, an enduring friendship developed with Professor of Art Bill Girard. Professionally, Michaels has worked as a copywriter, freelance writer, marketing communications consultant and technical writer. To make the breadth of Girard's artistic accomplishments more accessible, Michaels created the websites,
www.GirardsVasari.com,
www.ArtGab.us, and a blog,
https://GirardsVasari.blogspot.com/. Images of Michaels' paintings/sculpture can be found at
