"Field Cell" by Jack Kehoe

The Legacy of John Daniel "Jack" Kehoe

The Field Cell sculpture was created by University of Georgia professor and sculptor John D. "Jack" Kehoe. Kehoe was a Lamar Dodd School of Art Professor Emeritus and the program founder for the UGA Cortona Studies Abroad Program who passed away in 2016. His metal sculpture, Field Cell, is located at the front of Denmark Hall at UGA and was dedicated to Dean Hubert B. Owens (the founder of UGA’s landscape architect program) in 1973.

An internationally recognized sculptor, Kehoe founded the UGA Cortona Studies Abroad Program in 1970 and with the help of his wife, Marilyn, directed the program for twenty years. For Kehoe, the UGA Cortona Studies Abroad Program was more than just an academic trip. Kehoe was beloved by both the people of Cortona and UGA students and staff. Through these personal connections, Kehoe was able to create a unique and impactful experience for both the students of UGA and the citizens of Cortona that far surpassed a regular academic experience.
