Simon Kogan is locally famous in Olympia for his World War II memorial on the Capitol Campus and for the larger-than-life statue of a pregnant woman, "Motherhood," at Percival Landing.  He is also well known as a teacher of private art classes. At the moment the works of his students are on display in the art gallery at Pacific Lutheran University.

I didn't count, but the six students in the show must have close to, if not more than, 100 paintings in oil on paper, plus 15-20 ceramic sculptures and a group of sumi ink paintings. Let it be known that these are adult students and some of them have previous art experience - they're not exactly beginners.
