It amazes me to discover performing artists who are equally as talented in the visual arts. My personal favorite, singer Tony Bennett—who I've seen three times in concert and actually bumped into in Mexico a few years ago—also happens to be a world-class painter. Local Renaissance man Preston Jackson, of course, is one of our finest jazz guitarists, in addition to his masterful work as a sculptor and painter. And you may be familiar with Dr. Jeffrey Hoover of Illinois Central College, who is a musician, educator and composer—but did you know he's a painter as well?
