Louis Templeman
I have become a senior citizen in prison. In here, I have developed a unique perspective on life. And, time. As a result I’ve begun to approach my art with greater dedication. I will go home soon to my wife and five adult daughters in Jacksonville, FL, where my parents also live.

An important lesson learned is that when the powers-that-be get it wrong I can still do right. And by the power that I consume I will pursue beauty, believe the truth, and try to go about doing good.
