Teleduction's expanding Artists' Biographies series offers thoughtful, intelligent programs featuring the region's premiere creators in the arts. Each program is about a half-hour in length and is crafted entirely from the artist's own words.
	Mary Page Evans: Force of Nature Those who know Mary Page Evans know that it's rare to find her sitting still. Yet, painting has captured her attention for over four decades and she has yielded an impressive and enormous body of work. TELEDUCTION's documentary captures the native Virginian during her quiet, creative moments and explores the artistic views of this refined, yet, down-to-Earth artist.
	Charles Colombo: Painting the Town Examine the life and work of the Wilmington, Delaware artist who for more than 50 years has painted the people and places that define our local area. Locally admired and collected, Charles Colombo's watercolors are represented in the private collections of the late John F. Kennedy, Prince Rainier of Monaco, the late Henry Fonda, and the Vatican.
	Schroeder and Lewis: Elemental Artists Explore the lives, works and 50+ year friendship of artists Howard Schroeder (b.1911 - d.1995) and Jack Lewis (b.1914). Each was devoted to making a full-time living in the arts, despite the odds and their rural locations. For more than half a century these full-time artists recorded the changing life of southern Delaware, ultimately earning the respect of national audiences.
	Helen Farr Sloan: An Artistic Vision Visit with artist Helen Farr Sloan during this intimate portrait of her life's work and her years with distinguished 20th century American artist John Sloan. Now approaching 90 years of age, this intelligent and generous artist continues to foster the preservation and study of 20th century American art.
	Edward L. Loper: Prophet of Color Enter the color-filled world of American artist Edward Loper, Sr. during this special program devoted to his life, his work and his distinctive philosophy of art. Told entirely in the artist's own words, this program paints an intimate portrait of a young African-American man from urban Wilmington, Delaware who began drawing and painting on his own in the mid 1930's. Now, some sixty years later, Loper's uncommon talent is recognized at the national level.
	Charles Parks: Working Artist The essence of sculpture is its ability to capture the structural harmony that pervades all forms of life. Such is the vision that governs the work of Charles Parks, a Delaware artist who has created more than 500 figurative sculptures during the last half century. Parks shares his intimate thoughts about his work and the messages his work conveys to the public. TELEDUCTION has been awarded the prestigious Gabriel Award for this program.
