$ On Inquiry

Powder Coated Stainless Steel 72” h x 42” w x 36” d Commissioned for the June Key Delta Community Center in Portland, OR. This Memorial pays tribute to Christine W. Poole-Jones, an incredible community leader who was loved and respected by so many, for her generous heart, her commitment to community, family, friends, and the values she held dear. In a poised yet powerful stance this beautiful Delta Sigma Theta Soror forms with her hands the shape of the Delta triangle. This symbol represents her uncompromising commitment to make a difference for her community. In her chest the Delta symbol takes the shape of a heart, representing her generous spirit of service that she so actively gave to transform her community. She is standing on a triangular base, a variation of the Delta design, with 9 pearls to represent the 9 cardinal virtues and the strong foundation these values create. Many thanks to the Portland Chapter, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and the generous support of the Portland Development Commission who made this memorial possible.

Best known for her award winning outdoor sculptures, Alisa Looney has exhibited in the U.S. and Canada. Her work is in a multitude of private and public collections, including Maryhill Museum of Art in Goldendale, WA, and several U.S. cities in the Northwestern states of Oregon, Idaho and Washington. She expresses her ideas through sculpture, dance, painting and enameling in her Bend, OR, Studio. At the age of four, Alisa began drawing and building with clay and sand on the banks of the Spokane River, in Northern Idaho. The movement of the river is still present in her work today and she often donates a portion of her sales to organizations that keep our rivers clean and flowing. She fell in love with metal arts as a silver smith in her early years, received her BFA in Design from Boise State University in 1983 and began welding in 1998. Alisa returned to Idaho in 2010 to study with enamellist and BSU Professor Emeritus, John Killmaster, which has allowed her to merge sculpture design and narrative enamels into what she considers her most precious work to date. She loves sharing these enameling techniques through workshops in her Bend, Oregon studio and is currently developing online classes for enamelists near and far.
