"Visual Impact" by Richard Hight

Dear Gina,

Recently I hosted an event at Our Lady of the Lake University featuring one of your artists, Richard Hight. Although Express Fest was a few weeks ago, I would like to extend my thanks to you and to Richard for the marvelous presentations that were given. Richard truly captivated out audience and the event would not have been the same without him. Now, our University has three drawings that will adorn the hallways of our student union, the University Wellness and Activities Center (UWAC). Our school also has a beautiful sculpture of Jesus that will be placed within the University, the location to be determined. Not only did Richard provide a thrilling performance, but he was eager and willing to work through any and all problems and was an all around great guy.

During his visit to OLLU, Richard created a cool, hip Armadillo that has become the talk of the University. This Armadillo captures our new motto of "Maximum Aptitude Cultural Attitude". Although our school has updated our logo and the overall view of our university, we do not have as much "hype" on campus about the school's mascot as we should. We would love to use the Armadillo that Richard created to market our University. We would not under any circumstances think of doing this without Richard's permission, but we would greatly appreciate his cooperation.

Thank you again!

Sincerely,

Victor M. Salazar, Jr.

Richard,

Thanks so much for the beautiful mural. That was the coolest most inspiring thing anyone has ever done for me! Especially someone who has only known me for a couple of hours. I had to hold back the tears. I cannot thank you enough. You are such an insightful and inspirational person.

Thank you again,

The show was wonderful! Everyone was very pleased - he added a lot to our orientation. He was a joy to work with.

Thanks for everything, - Wendy Elliott, Coordinator of Student Activities

Fantastic!

The kids loved it and Richard was wonderful to work with. Unfortunately, I had class that evening so I did not get to see everything. Michelle Delaney, Director of Student Activities, was there to help out and she told me that the kids were arguing over who would get to take them home. Thank you so much for suggestion this event. - Jeannette Williams, Program Advisor, Student Activities
