My career in art has been extensive over the years largely due to the generous support and creative motion Dick Nunis inspired, not just for me, but everyone he dealt with. "Cutting through it all, lets do it!" was the fuel that started the engine and made us run for the images in his mind!
I can't thank him enough for trusting me to do the range of media,
in painting, sculpture, or merely conceptual "doodles" as he liked to describe. A dear friend, patron always!

Walt Disney World could never have been built without Dicks guidance. I was a cast member for forty years and I had the please to meet Dick at the Golf Resort for lunch and Dick presented me with my five year service pin. He was over seeing the building of the Fort Wilderness camp ground. He will never be forgotten.
