For many years Alan Soffer worked as a dentist and then he found a love for art. Gradually he became a professional artist and leader in the use of encaustic paints. His work includes both representational as well as abstract sculptures and paintings. He has "followed his bliss", in Joseph Campbell's memorable phrase, for 40 years, and we can see his work at a retrospective show at Villanova's Connelly Center.
