“Jim Eng . . . fostered the creative development of hundreds of students throughout his long tenure at the college,” says Art Department Chair Marc Cote. Now Eng is retiring after 32 years as a member of the art department faculty.

The All-Student Juried Show, in the Mazmanian Gallery from April 28 to May 9, is dedicated to him. Eng is seen above April 29 at the exhibition reception with Elizabeth Sousa, ’10, who won the Best of Show award with “Grit,” her brush and ink drawing (on right).

In retirement Eng looks forward to traveling, plein air painting, spending quality time with grandchildren, and working in his studio. “It is amazing to think I have spent half my life so far teaching at the college,” he says. “I leave with unbelievably wonderful memories and I hope that I have contributed in positive ways to the lives of my many students. I certainly have gained much from them.”
