Faculty emeritus Harry Widman and his wife, Mardy, were profiled over the weekend in the Oregonian where David Stabler called Widman, 83, "one of Oregon's great painters, a modernist of bold human forms, influential, gregarious, gentlemanly, an admired teacher whose words of advice could change a student's career." Painter Laura Ross-Paul, who is hosting an exhibition of both of the Widman's work at Golden Gallery in Beaverton, called Widman, "one of the gods" along with Mel Katz and Jay Backstrand.
