When I first met Alfonso we met to film this project. He was so gracious and generous and we connected immediately. We both have a love for printmaking and art. We also have a connection with a mutual friend Jeff Sippel, whom is a professor and artist. Alfonso was working with Jeff at the University of Missouri — St. Louis. He has an incredible life story and shared his love of printmaking, etching and painting with me. You can view his professional website here: Alfonso Fernández
