    Dr. Mark Seraly, dermatologist, is a self-taught sculptor and a figurative oil painter. His inspiration comes from a subject he knows best—the human body. Dr. Seraly developed a passion for sculpting in 1996 which has gotten stronger over time. Combined with his interest and knowledge of Native Americans, sculpting images of a Native American figure comes naturally to him.

    Please join Marlene Boas and Jan Pini for the next meeting of the MAL Art and Artists Book Club! Come even if you haven't read the book!

    We will meet to discuss "The Passion of Artemisia" by Susan Vreeland. Here's Amazon's synopsis:

    A true-to-life novel of one of the few female post-Renaissance painters to achieve fame during her own era against great struggle. Artemisia Gentileschi led a remarkably "modern" life.  Vreeland tells Artemisia's captivating story, beginning with her public humiliation in a rape trial at the age of eighteen, and continuing through her father's betrayal, her marriage of convenience, motherhood, and growing fame as an artist. Set against the glorious backdrops of Rome, Florence, Genoa, and Naples, inhabited by historical characters such as Galileo and Cosimo de' Medici II, and filled with rich details about life as a seventeenth-century painter, Vreeland creates an inspiring story about one woman's lifelong struggle to reconcile career and family, passion and genius.

    Feel free to read the book and add to the discussion. And bring friends and snacks! A voluntary donation of $5 is requested.
