Lukens' attorney, Thomas
Tyack, said Lukens would appeal
on the grounds that evidence
about the girl s background was
not presented to the jury.
"The primary grounds will be
the exclusion of Ms. Coffman's
juvenile record. Children Services
file and school records, which
cited in the appeal." The girl is
black, and Lukens is white.
Neither the girl nor her mother
was in the courtroom when the
verdict was read.
Assistant Prosecutor Rita
Mangini said Lukens contributed
to the girl's unruliness and delin
quency by giving her alcohol,
paying for her cab ride to his
apartment and having sex with her
because he knew she was under
age.
During the grand jury investiga
tion, the Franklin County prosecu
tor sought an additional indict
ment stemming from an alleged
sexual encounter between Lukens
and the girl in 1985, when she
was 13. The grand jury deter
mined there was insufficient evi
dence because of conflicting testi
mony from the girl.
Artist touches hearts From Page A2
"There are a lot of buyers out
there who can't buy the original but
they can afford a print," Mr. Rose
boro said. "Each print is hand
signed and hand numbered. I've
sold about half of them (out of the
100 prints)."
Mr. Roseboro is self-trained to
a large extent, but he does have a
degree in art design from North
Carolina A&T State University. He
also received private lessons in oil
painting from Armand de Navarre,
a local artist of renown in his field.
"As a young artist I taught
myself and I went about doing that
by trying to reproduce pho
tographs," he said. "My style is
photo realist. I would maybe look at
sports figures in sports magazines
or animals in a wild life book or
cars, trying to get a close likeness to
those images.
"When I went to North Caroli
na A&T, technically they didn't
teach me anything. When I arrived
arA&T they told me I was pretty
more advanced than their art depart
ment. I'm disappointed with that
__and_ifJLcould do it all over again L_
would go to a two-year technical
school because that's what the mar
ket (artists) do to get their training."
During the past year or so, Mr.
Roseboro has not been too inspired
or had much of a desire to sit at an
art table or in front of an easel, he
said.
"Right now I'm at a stand still,**
he explained. "One thing about art
work, and especially with the style
and technique I use, it takes so
much time and dedication. Time
and dedication are the key to pro
ducing quality work. If that's not
there, there will not be quality work
produced."
A product of the city-county
school system, Mr. Roseboro gave
up his position as assistant manager
of Koenig Art Emporium so he
would have more time to devote to
his art He now works as a part-time
sales associate in the Hanes Mall
store.
"I'm making enough to sur
vive," he said. "I'm not riding
around in a BMW or a Mercedes,
but I'm making 4t"
Although an ex-girlfriend nick
named him "Master So Great," and
he chose to add an "s" to master and
form the name for his business, Mr.
=Rosebo?rdescribes himself^asTT
low key, modest and honest person.
His professional goal is to be
known for-his-individual-artistic?
style and subject manner, he said.
"I just love to touch the hearts
of all people with my art work," Mr.
Roseboro said. "For instance the
"Leprechaun" is a very spirited
piece and I try to reveal different
spirits through my art work,
whether they be happiness or pain."
Muoh of his life's experiences
have been happy ones because of
the love and support he receives
from family and friends who com
mend him on and compliment his
talent
"No matter what career you
choose, when it comes to relation
ships you will need all the support
you can get from that one individual
whether it be a girlfriend, wife or
other family member," he said. "I
get a lot of support from the people
around me and it's helped me to
achieve what I have - that and hard
work."
Comparing his photo realist
style artwork to that of Norman
Rockwell, Mr. Roseboro said he is
intrigued with producing portraits
from individuals' pictures. He has
taken published photographs of
celebrities like the late Marilyn
Monroe and Donna Summer and
painted colorful portraits from

overcoat and brimmed beret stand
ing in the foreground of a port.
"I love doing portraits because
they reveal a person's individual
personality," Mr. Roseboro said.
Alth h he is experiencing a
slight creative slump, Mr. Roseboro
said he's not worried.

teller? If not, you ate missing a real
treat The Tarheel Association of
Storytellers, using the talents of
local and regional artists, has been
acclaimed as one of the best.
Recounting tales of faraway places
and peoples, times of long ago -
and not so long ago - these per
formers pull you as an undercurrent
ever so steadily into the midst of
their existence.
Try using the talents of these
star performers as a "different" kind
of entertainment for the young and
old. You will be delighted at the
results. Watch for opportunities to
support their efforts at such events
as their annual festival.
The Tarheel Association of Sto

. the art of storytelling. Stocytelling is
an art form that enchants us all. It
arouses our imagination and emo

reading in an unexpected an enjoy
able way.
Why can't Johnny read? Per
haps it is because we have not pre
served facets of our heritage such as
the magic and enchantment of sto
rytelling.
