Art Exhibit at University Health Services

On August 13, Thursday, I visited an art exhibit at the Tang Center of University Health Services (UHS), University of California, Berkeley. The half-day long exhibit showcased the talents of seven UHS staff members - painters, photographer, jeweler, and textile maker. The talent pool of the Cal staff is amazing and it is always gratifying to see people's commitments to their artistic endeavors and the appreciation of these.

I was particularly taken in by the oil paintings of Melissa Martin, who has a very sophisticated way of manipulating layers and webs of paint. Her sense of color is outstanding as well:





Wouldn't it be wonderful if more people dedicate their time to such pursuit?
