About the artists
Portland Abstraction was created by Una Kim's summer mural class, ART 399: Murals A-Z, in which students submit proposals for a site-specific mural and then collaborate on the execution of one selected design. Several murals created by this class in various years can be found around campus.
Una Kim's own work can be found on her website.
