Greg J. Lewis

This is Greg Lewis, Senior Artist & Design Director. I'm pleased to introduce the "Circle of Care" Outdoor Sculpture for Providence Newberg Medical Center in Beaverton, Oregon, USA. This artwork will be created and fabricated by Pacific Northwest artist & sculptor Chas Martin. In collaboration with the PNMC Foundation, my goal is to bring the "Circle of Care" project to completion at Providence Newberg Medical Center. Its purpose and strength come from achieving collaboration among the diverse personalities of the physicians, trained medical professionals, administrators, spiritual support staff, and the community. PNMC's mission statement charges them to provide a healing environment in which this collaboration may occur. It is a major part of the Providence mission statement, yet PNMC has no visible symbol communicating this value to the community and staff. The Circle of Care outdoor sculpture project will beautifully represent and emphasize their healing mission.

I am pleased to introduce myself: Greg Lewis, Senior Artist & Design Director with Greg Lewis Studios, a free-lance practice from 1972. Greg is actively engaged in planning and creating permanent artworks for local, regional, and national clients in publishing, architecture, interior design, health care and liturgical environments. Providence Health & Services has been a client of mine since 1999. Interior décor and chapel furnishing assignments came from marketing and project referrals from Providence site locations: Milwaukie, Newberg, Seaside, St. Vincent, Portland, Oregon City, and Hood River. I have an Associate of Science degree in Commercial Art/Graphic Design and a Bachelor of Science degree in Visual Communications Education. "My goal has always been to create contemporary artworks that would challenge the viewer, as well as touch the human spirit."
