Tony Davenport was a great inspiration to me in several ways.  He not only taught me to push myself to produce more, but to do so creatively.  I consider myself very lucky to have been taught by someone as talented, and knowledgeable of their craft.  I have great respect for him as a teacher.  

I recently began attending Columbus College of Art and Design.  Tony inspired me to believe that I can achieve my dream of being an artist.  He always encouraged me to think outside of the box.  I only hope to be able to someday emulate him.  I want to give to others what he gave to me.  He will not be forgotten.
