University Donors Receive Gift of Roland Lee Painting.
My painting "Cliffs of Zion" was purchased by the Dixie State University as a gift to honor Denis and Diane Lyman for their $1 million contribution towards a new geology program and regional center, which will be housed on the top floor of the new $58 million Science, Engineering & Technology building set to break ground in the fall. It will be called the Denis and Diane Lyman Geology program. The couple has been taking geology classes through ICL teacher Rick Miller, which sparked their interest in geology and prompted the gift.
