- Biographical Information
- The sixth painting entitled *Sense of Place* focuses on the Pacific Northwest with images of local history, tradition, geology and culture, which create a sense of place. In the foreground a guide holds a piece of volcanic rock alluding to the unique geological formations surrounding the University and the sense of wonder and discovery that are the riches of learning. In the background members of an archeological dig find an arowhead. A Native American woman catches salmon with her son; they are surrounded by the symbols of their culture. Two European figures promenade before a castle recalling mythology and cultural heritage hekp alive through the Shakespearian festival. (excerpt from Josephson artist statement, 2006)
