UofA Medallion Project

This medallion was created for the University of Arizona Regency Professor Award. The inspiration for this artwork was drawn to depict "place" and location. Most specifically, the place of Arizona, the City of Tucson, and the University of Arizona. Arizona is the home of the O'odham tribe and is represented in the traditional water design at the foot of the composition. The entirety of the landscape features the signature Sonoran Desert aesthetic. The "A" is a direct representation of the University of Arizona, as it is a symbol used throughout the college and its programs.
