This catalog has been created to document INFLUENCE, an exhibit in the UCCS Galleries of Contemporary Art featuring three emeriti and former UCCS Visual Art faculty members: Julia (Hoerner) Lathrop, Dawn Wilde, and Kay Williams Johnson. All three artists are masters in their respective practices, including painting, digital art, printmaking, collage and mixed-media. As Visual Art faculty and colleagues at UCCS from the mid-1980's into the 1990's, the three artists forged a legacy as influential teachers and mentors to their students and inspiration to each other.

This exhibit is part of the Gerry Riggs Memorial Exhibition Series, honoring long-time GOCA director and art champion Gerry Riggs.
