On Oct. 13 the Richmond Times-Dispatch highlighted the work of artist Robert Caldwell. The article described how many of his drawings were inspired by work he had done at the VCU Rice Center following along beside researchers. The VCU Rice Center invited Caldwell to exhibit these works at the dedication of the Walter L. Rice Education Building. To view more of his artwork, visit his blog at http://rlcaldwell.blogspot.com.
