Belton, Texas 鈥� On Tuesday, March 17, the College of Visual and Performing Arts at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor will host a Visual Visiting Artist Series lecture by Michelle Sakhai at 4:00 p.m. inside the Baugh Performance Hall of the Sue & Frank Mayborn Performing Arts Center. This event is free and open to the public.
Sakhai was born in 1983 in Long Island, New York. Her world travels and mixed heritage have shaped her as an artist. With Persian and Japanese roots, her art derives influences from both cultures. Her work focuses on light and energy.
鈥淚 believe that art offers healing, both to the artist and the viewer.鈥� Sakhai said. 鈥淲hen I connect with a deeper part within myself as I paint, I believe that this translates to those who enjoy my work.鈥�
