LaVerne Krause, on July 21! She was born in 1924 in Portland, OR and died on May 5, 1987 in Eugene. She studied painting at the University of Oregon while working to pay tuition. Some of her jobs included working at the university library, handing out pool cues at the YMCA, and as a scaler at the Portland shipyards, scraping rust off ship’s hulls. While raising a family of three she still managed to have at least one show of her works a year. Divorced in 1960, she began teaching at the Museum Art School, run by the Portland Art Museum, to support her family, and taught privately as well. In 1966 she was appointed as a visiting professor at the UO, and in 1973 became a full professor. The Krause Gallery in Lawrence Hall is named in her honor, and generations of art students celebrate their first exhibition there.
