Escape Artist by William A Noguera

Escape Artist by William A Noguera

Escape Artist is William Noguera's candid and inspiring story of tragedy, human perseverance, and redemption through the fine arts. After a childhood of abuse, William Noguera thought he had finally found the person with whom he'd start a family and move on from the pains of his past. But instead of that path, he ended up on Death Row at San Quentin State Prison, where he has lived for the last thirty years. In that time, he has also become an award-winning artist and father to his unique form of expression in neo-cubist hyper-realism and neo-constructivist wall sculpture.

As an award-winning artist, author and speaker, William A. Noguera has gained international attention and received accolades for his photographic hyper-realistic ink compositions, profound mixed-media paintings, hybridized abstract expressionism and neo-constructivist wall sculptures--exhibiting in Paris, New York and San Francisco. Noguera has been the subject of over 35 articles in such publications as Forbes, The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, and BOOM! A Journal of California. Besides being an artist and lecturer, Noguera is a former Hapkido Middle-Weight Champion.

Since writing his memoir, Noguera has aspired to help others through lectures at MBA programs and as a radio guest speaker, concentrating on prevention and intervention. Noguera's inspiration is simple: pay his debt to society by creating art for charitable causes and encouraging others, and writing and speaking about what it takes to make progressive self-change and the continuous effort that is required for someone to have a positive influence on others. Noguera's talks share an eye-opening, thought-provoking narrative on the realities of wrongdoing, prison life, ethical responsibility, prison gangs, their culture, the ramifications of destructive behavior, and the rewards of constructive rehabilitation.
