Charlie introduced himself to Sterling Strauser when Sterling learned of the work of “Old Ironsides” Pry when they both resided in the Weatherwood Home for the Aged. Dieter drew delicate scenes of his private, childlike world familiar to him.

The sun shines brightly in Dieter’s work and his stiff, but serene existence emanates from his work. Dieter drew on paper and paperboard with pen, ink, pencils and crayon.
