Elaine L Wilson

in the latter part of the 20th Century, I co-founded, with two separate Russian counterparts, the first two private schools in the former Soviet Union. So, travelling to Moscow over the years has been akin to going to my second home. At the left, I am presenting a set of 15 of my books to the Slavic Anglo American School "Marina" for their library. Their library is named for me.

 

The books are an outgrowth of a lecture series called "The Art of God's Message" and feature famous artists and focus specifically on one of each person's outstanding creations. The books are available for review and/or purchase at Blurb.com.
