11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Donna Seager, noted curator and gallerist, hosts Artist Conversations. These exchanges will highlight the process and stories behind artworks that honor our colleagues and address the impact of art on health & wellbeing.

Cindy Perlis served as art consultant for the UCSF outpatient centers in Berkeley and Burlingame and is the founder and past director of UCSF’s Art for Recovery Program. She is a board member of the National Organization for Arts in Health.
Johnny Apodaca* creates landscape paintings, at home in Carmel and while traveling in Italy, that unite abstract expressionism with the natural beauty of the regions.
Bibby Gignilliat* is a local artist who created the piece in memory of Rahul Desikan entitled many colors of Rahul that hangs in the Radiology Department's Education office suite.
Emily Payne will share the story behind the making of FIVE DAYS which was inspired by her participation in the Reimagine Conference and her commitment to creating art for healing spaces.
