Remember the Master Carpenter in your home or office The Andrews University College of Technology displays a large painting of "Jesus in the Carpenter's Shop" in the main lobby of its new building, Harrigan Hall. This impressive picture reminds those who enter that Christ is the center of the academic programs in Agriculture, Architecture, Interiors, Aviation, Engineering Technology, Automotive Technology, Building Construction, Graphic Arts Technology and Photography. After viewing the picture, many have requested copies, which has prompted the College of Technology to reproduce this picture in three sizes, any one of which would enrich a workplace, school or home. The artist, Mr. Nathan Greene, is a 1979 graduate of Cedar Lake Academy where he first studied art. He attended Andrews University and then studied at the American Academy of Art in Chicago. He has been a free-lance artist since 1983 and will personally sign each large and medium print. Andrews University will send prints of this painting as a thank you gift to donors who contribute to advance the technology programs on the campus of the University. The large print is available for a minimum donation of $60, and the medium and small prints for minimum donations of $30 and $15, respectively. Please indicate on the form below which of the gift prints you would like and are eligible for based on the size of your contribution.
