This month's exhibit will feature Sandi Gold and past and present students from Salve Regina Holistic Graduate Program. Head to the Hoxie Gallery from 5-7 pm Wednesday, December 6th to "Meet the Artist". The exhibit can be viewed in the Hoxie Gallery through the month of December during library hours.

Sandi Gold will be doing a short reading from her book I Chose Love: How to Thrive After a Life-threatening Illness Using Love to Guide You and answering questions (from 5:30 to 6:00). Her book is about how she survived a life-threatening, fast growing, inoperable brain tumor after five neurologists told her she had less than a year to live. Everyone who attends this reading and art exhibit will be surrounded and inspired by paintings created by students using excerpts from Sandi’s book - on love, life, hope, and determination and more. Sound therapist Marlisa McLaughlin will be playing as people are entering the gallery (from 5:00 – 5:30). Classical pianist Nancy Clay Caron will be playing (from 6:30-7:30) contributing to this unique and uplifting special evening.
