Faculty & Staff

The Department of Art at Portland State University consists of nationally and internationally known artists, designers, educators, and art historians actively engaged in their respective fields and with the extended community. Our faculty of professional artists offers expertise in all degree areas. Our adjunct faculty provides fresh insights which augment the concentrations and majors of the Art Department.

Michi Kosuge, Professor Emeritus, Art Department Interim Chair
Professor Michi Kosuge's ability to mold giant rocks into acclaimed works of art has made him one of the Northwest's most collectible sculptors.  Michi was a professor of art and department chair during his many years at Portland State, and is currently back as interim department chair for the 2011-12 school year. His dedication to PSU's Art Department and his keen interest in students make him a pleasure to learn from.
