This exhibition features a selection of drawings, ink ink renderings, and paintings from Ed’s studio that spans several decades of his artistic practice. He was an authority on Renaissance and classical art, leading trips throughout Europe and lecturing on the most enduring artist and artworks of the ages. He would inspire many to pursue their own artistic careers.

Navone studied art in California before moving to Kansas to work as an instructor at Washburn University. He retired after 43 years of teaching engaging art classes. A prodigious artist, he created many large painted canvases, drawings and sketches, using varied styles and techniques. When he was not in the classroom, he was in his studio, paintbrush, pen, or pencil in hand spending countless hours developing his practice, one sketch, drawing, or painting at a time.
