He joined the department in 1974 after receiving his MFA from the University of Colorado-Boulder. He has taught all the sculpture courses in the Department from the intro level "Three Dimensional Design" to the more unusual courses such as "Art with a Function" and "Art with Four Legs." His work also deals with the third dimension from outdoor public commissions to smaller studio pieces. "Learning to be an artist is a very complex process. Learning to enjoy Art by trying to make it is also complex. Once it is started the process has to be practiced and explored - perhaps for a lifetime. As an Artist/Teacher I think it is important to share my studio trials and tribulations for art-making is always fun but rarely easy. It is also important to share the joys of this activity - those times when an idea in combination with carefully selected and worked materials yields a product I am proud to exhibit. It is also a joy to help students dig deeply into themselves, then to use all their energies and resourcefulness to create a work they never thought possible."

An abstraction of line and form presented in relief sculptural form. This piece is comprised of six cutouts of light purple material whose shape references thick, sinuous line. These six shapes suggest a human form. Between what might be interpreted as arms and legs are another eight cutouts in dark purple material; three on the left side and five on the right. The pieces hang out slightly from the wall so their forms cast interesting shadows on the wall behind the sculpture., Barry Pelzner; della robbia blue; 1979; 78x78 inches, http://pnca.edu/programs/bfa/faculty.php, http://www.froelickgallery.com/Artist-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=248, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.
