University of Colorado Pen-and-ink drawings

I attended to the University of Colorado at 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. Here is a large grouping of images from my years at CU and later. I also did a mural on campus, in Hallett Hall: you can see photos of that project here.

Included in this set are seven drawings and one painting I was commissioned to do by the housing department of the University of Colorado in the early 90’s connecting the architecture on campus with the people for whom the buildings were named. In this commission I combined architecture and portraiture, and spent significant time researching the archives for old photographs, which the portraits were done. I drew the architectural portions on location. Originally, those drawings were all on display in the University Club building, but have since been distributed to other locations.
