Steven
Lloyd Neal, MD, was born in Nephi, Utah, on Feb. 9, 1953, and was raised
in the Salt Lake City suburb of Murray. He went on a mission
to Fukuoka, Japan from 1972-74. He attended BYU, graduating in Asian
Studies and pre-med in 1977. While he was attending BYU, he met Susan
Clark from Sunnyvale, California. The two married and are the parents of
six daughters. He went to medical school at the University of Texas
Health Science Center at San Antonio and did his surgical residency in
Head and Neck Surgery at University of California at San Diego,
finishing in 1987. He was then recruited by Pendleton, Oregon to
practice, where he has been for the past 20
years.
He is known in his specialty for teaching aesthetics in facial surgery,
and is an instructor in sculpture at the annual Art of Rhinoplasty
Course in San Francisco to help surgeons with visualizing surgical
possibilities. This specialty has led to some large art projects, in
which he is currently involved. He serves as bishop of the Pendleton
Oregon 2nd Ward.
居間を占拠していたブリガム・ヤングの像
二―ル兄弟は三年前、モルモン大隊協会からの依頼を受けて、建築中の本部に設置するためにブリガム・ヤングと大隊に加わったボランティアの家族の大きな像の制作を始めました。天井の高い居間を１年半占拠していた実物大二倍の像はやっと鋳造工場に送られてしまったので、ちょっと淋しいです。
Brigham Young in the Family Room
By Steven Lloyd Neal, M.D.
Recently,
the giant statue of Brigham Young and a family representing the Mormon
Battalion volunteers finally left my studio for the bronze foundry in
Enterprise, Oregon. After being such a large part of our family
room/art studio and home for the past one-and-a-half years, we feel a
little empty here at the Neal household. My wife, Susan, however, won’t
miss the migrating globs of brown oil-based clay that seem to infest
even the farthest corners of the house, including the white carpet in
the bathroom upstairs.
Commissioned by the Mormon Battalion Association more than three years
ago, the statue is one of two heroic-sized statues that will flank the
Mormon Battalion Visitor’s Center now in phase one of construction at
This Is the Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake.
