The Department of Art, Media, Performance and Design, the Reynolds Gallery and University of the Pacific are saddened by the unexpected recent loss of Professor emerita Barbara Flaherty. Her children Rue and Frank shared: "First and foremost, Barbara was an artist. Regardless of the medium—paintings, drawings, textiles, prints—she was devoted to engaging with the inexpressible mysteries of life. Whether inspired by a classical motif or a tree branch, interacting with art was a kind of call-and-response dance that challenged and delighted her. Through her art she worked to balance her spiritual nature with everything else in her life; and did it beautifully."
It was an honor for her colleagues and students to learn from her and pursue the message at the core of her favorite quote from painter Francis Bacon, "The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery."

The University of the Pacific and the Reynolds Gallery are sad to note the passing of artist, educator, and curator Larry Walker (1935–2023) earlier this week. Walker came to Pacific with his family in 1964 and taught and chaired the art department until he took a new position in Georgia in 1983. His legacy lives on campus in a number of his works gifted to the permanent art collection. As one of the first black faculty at Pacific he organized the Black Caucus and supported the Black Student Union in their demands for increased funding of Community Involvement students and more faculty of color in the classroom and on the admissions board. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and his beloved community.
