Art Professor in Press Herald Article

The Portland Press Herald has a story about Michael Lewis, a UMaine art professor and the winner of this year’s Vincent A. Hartgen Award, which recognizes outstanding contributions to the advancement of arts at the university. Despite health issues Lewis, who has been at UMaine since 1966, has a full load of classes lined up for the fall, and at this time, has no plans to retire, he told the Press Herald. Owen Smith of the UMaine art department faculty was also interviewed for the story and called Lewis the “center and essence” of the department.
