From an early age, Gordon’s artistic gifts set him apart. He was awarded a grant to study fine art at the Pratt Institute in New York City (1976–1979), and furthered his studies at the Maryland Institute College of Art (1980–1982), the Corcoran School of Art, and the Washington Studio School in Washington, D.C. He also pursued studies in photography, graphic design, art restoration, and illustration. His work found its way into countless private collections, as well as parishes, chapels, restaurants, and commercial establishments across the country.
