小黄猫传媒 students are famous for creating all sorts of things, from inventions to recipes to novels.
But probably only one student, Alisa Roe, can take credit for creating an elephant.
The Rock Creek student appeared in the Winter 2010 issue of 小黄猫传媒 Communities in a feature about her work as a sculptor, and her crafting of an metal creation, 鈥淎ugust Trunks,鈥 which later was moved from Rock Creek to its present location, square in the heart of pedestrian-friendly Lake Oswego.
Now comes word from The Lake Oswego Review that Roe鈥檚 pachyderm beat out four other works of art to become part of the city of Lake Oswego鈥檚 permanent collection, known as Gallery Without Walls.
Roe鈥檚 elephant stands in a prominent spot, south of A Avenue on N. State St., and is visible from much of the city鈥檚 recently renovated downtown core.
