A Collection at Biola

posted November 29th, 2024 by

I was recently sent a web link from Biola University displaying their collection of my paintings. It’s been a slow accumulation over the years and I’d lost track of the quantity. There are 16! I’m included in their “Special Collections” category. What an honor.

The follow is the array. Ignore the scale, some shown here seem small when in reality they’re very large, and vice versa. Enjoy the overview, and notes the dates they were painted, often early in my painting career.


China Festival, 53×75, 2002


Ripe for Harvest, 72×192, 2003


China Man, 1999, Nepal Grandma, 1999, Snack Seller, 2003, each 60×27


Pentecost, 24×48, 2009


Sugar Cane Girl, 42×55, Rhythm Workers, 30×40, Two New Writers, 37×55, all 2003
Oaxaca Queen, 60×27, 1999, Happy Mother, 60×27, 2003


View from Above, 30×17, 2009


Writing Lessons, 40×40, 2003


Feeding the Three-thousand, 68×300, 2004


Micah 6:8, 30×72, 2004


The Last Supper with Twelve Tribes, 67×240, 2000

Thanks for reading. If you’re ever at Biola University in La Mirada, California, you’ll find the art scattered around. (And maybe more than these by the time you get there.)

If you’re interested in the Biola website page that features all this, along with their brief description of me, it’s here.

Always grateful.

Happy Thanksgiving.

    Wow! Quite the collection Hyatt! They even have my favoriteā€¦the look down of Christ on the cross, which I fell in love with when I first met you at an art show in Palm Springs!
    Bravo!

    I praise God for your art display in Biola. When I saw your work some 15 years ago in Biola’s library, I had to search you out. So thankful for our friendship and your blessing of Su Refugio Ministries.
