 THE DRAWINGS of
Elliott Professor of Fine Arts David Dodge Lewis have appeared

College Art Gallery in Rhinelander, Wisconsin,
where his entry won the Rajak Donor Award.
Paintings from Lewis’ Evolution Series have appeared in Hand to Hand, an Invitational Hand
group exhibition at Green Hill Center for
North Carolina Art, in 2006, and in Fossils and
Flowers: The Evolution Series, a solo exhibition
at the Atkinson Museum in conjunction with
last spring’s symposium on paleontology at
Hampden-Sydney College.
Lewis has had several portrait commissions
since 2005, and in 2006 one of his portraits won
a merit award at Images 2006, a national juried 2006
competition at Pennsylvania State University. In
the fall two of his portraits were in the National
Portrait Exhibition at Impact Artists’ Gallery
in Buff alo, New York. He spent the summer of
2007 working on a book on portraiture, thanks
to a summer fellowship from Hampden-Sydney
College.
In the past three years, Lewis has also
presented workshops on his drawing technique
at Elon University; the Mint Museum in
Charlotte, North Carolina; the Art Students’
League of New York; and Haystack Mountain
School of Crafts.
Lewis, who is on leave this year, received his
B.S. from the University of Southern Maine,
and his M.A. and M.F.A. from East Carolina
University. He has taught at the College since
1987, and in 2006 he received the College’s John
Peter Mettauer Award for Excellence in Research
for his work.
