(Community Matters) Enjoyed meeting UT’s new art department chair, artist Jack Risley and his wife, artist & new UT professor/sculptor Amy Hauft. Both are new to Austin – Art & Education story.  Laurence Miller & Judy Willcott hosted a dinner introducing them to friends including Stephen Mills, Brent Hasty, Mike, Chris Mattson, Jeanne & Mickey Klein, Steven and me.
