Richard Lewis has come a long way since his first painting of a Kellogg's Corn Flakes box, back when he was eight. The assistant professor of art now has his paintings featured in several shows a year. From nearby Vassar College, all the way to Hombeek, Belgium — Lewis' brightly colored, figurative paintings have graced the walls of some pretty prestigious juried shows. Lewis, who teaches courses in all levels of drawing and painting, as well as a course in Arts and Values, came to Marist four years ago and was a little disheartened. "I was surprised to see how little people knew about art," he said. So he went to work — teaching, painting and — oh yes — writing. Currently Lewis and his wife Susan are co-authoring a textbook tentatively titled Arts and Values. Design ed to go along with Marist's course, the book is based on the understanding that art should be an integral part of a liberal arts education. Though the anticipated publishing date isn't until 1990, Lewis said it is generating interest from publishers and reviewers alike. Lewis organizes trips each semester to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, in his effort to bring art to the students. "It became my missionary work because art can be one of life's great pleasures and there's no reason everyone can't share in it," Lewis said. Who knows —- Maybe we'll see his paintings in the Met some day.
•if-' Burgbacher
Lisa Burgbacher has been making waves at Marist for nearly three years now. The Marist women's premier diver has been rewriting the record books every season since her arrival in 1985. Most recently, Burgbacher set a new Metropolitan Collegiate Conference record in the 3-meter diving event at the championships of the same name. She also finished first in the 1-meter event. A psychology major from Syosset, N.Y., Burgbacher has achieved a perfect mixture of academic and athletic success. A participant on the 5-year master'sprogram, Burgbacher began taking graduate-level courses this year and maintains a B+ average. Though she admits it is sometimes difficult (Photo by Matt CrokeJ to balance her time between school and the pool, she wouldn't have it any other way.
