The Stuart
Collection at UC
San Diego certainly
made an impact
on KPBS arts and
culture reporter
Beth Accomando,
Warren ’82, who enjoyed being on a
campus where art is a part of everyday
life. “The collection goes one step
further,” she says, “inspiring questions
like, ‘What is art?’ or ‘What makes that
art?’—precisely the kind of thing that
should be happening at an educational
institution.”
Photographer
Brennan Romeril,
Marshall ’ 11, was
impressed by the
director of the
Stuart Collection,
Mary Beebe. “She
is unique, eclectic … the perfect
person to steward the artwork of
the Stuart Collection. She puts such
care into the art and the legacy of its
artists; she treats them like members
of her family. She is a passionate
advocate for the art and is truly
invested in the collection and its place
on the UC San Diego campus.”

Hincman, M.F. A.
’01, professor
of sculpture at the Massachusetts
College of Art and Design. “No
collection of art has affected me, or
my art practice, as much as the Stuart
Collection,” says Hincman. “I hoped
the simple watercolor ‘caricatures’
capture the generosity of the
Collection, along with Mary Beebe’s
passion and humor—so integral to
the Collection’s development and
sustainability over the past three
decades.”
