University of Colorado Pen-and-ink drawings

I went to CU Boulder from 1982 to 1987 and received a BFA in art and art history.  I did a lot of sketching in my undergraduate years, of places like the interior of dorms and the library, and all the great architecture.  Seven years after graduating, in 1994, I received a commission from the housing department of the University of Colorado for 7 large pen-and-ink drawings and one painting connecting the architecture on campus with some of the people who were instrumental to the university: in those drawings I combined architecture and portraiture. I also did a mural on campus, in Hallett Hall: you can see photos of that project here.
