- Note
- This project included the construction of a complex of four major science buildings: the construction of a new Museum of Natural History and two smaller architecture studio buildings to replace dislocated facilities, and a remodel of a former science building for Architecture and Allied Arts, which lost about 15,000 net square feet of programmatic space to construction of the new science buildings. The project was completed between 1989-1991. <br><br>An interactive campus map of the University of Oregon may be viewed at: http://map.uoregon.edu/ Huestis Hall, south lobby, north wall

- Biographical Information
- The sources of imagery in my paintings come from an interest in pictographs and petroglyphs of various cultures. In an effort to find a visceral, immediate expression, I turned to these forms from the past which hold a direct and universal appeal. I intend through the layering and complexity of my work to have an immediate as well as continued appeal, much like coming upon a rock face scattered with pictographs which continue to invite exploration (Surmon, 1987).
