A colleague of Louise Nevelson and Professor of Art at the U. of Minnesota where a building in the art department is named after her. Worked with steel, aluminum, copper and bronze. Her works are included in many museums and corporate collections. “Crusader” is made of solid copper, iodized to prevent the green oxidation that plagues many works in copper.
