Artist Bio

Additional Information
In mythology and folklore the griffin is half lion, half eagle. Legends tell of it's exceptional power-as the lion is viewed as the king of the beasts, and the eagle the king of the birds. O'Neil's charming poetry and illustrations, printed at the University of North Dakota, tell a story of a griffin and its human family as they attempt to find out his origin. The Griffin was created as part of the Sundog Multiples program, a printmaking venture created by Art & Design Professor Kim Fink, in conjugation with UND Art Collections, and generously funded by the Myers Foundation.
