COVER STORY
 

Original Artwork Livens Dining Commons

In a work commissioned just for Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, multimedia artist Pae White brings the walls of the Dining Commons to life with bright colors and bold images. The sleek dining room setting is enhanced with vivid reds, golds and blues artfully splashed across a black background, creating an interesting counterpoint to the hospital’s elegant white and wood surfaces. White named the piece “Wall Traveled,” and drew some of her inspiration from enhanced images of Disneyland’s “It’s a Small World.”

Pae White is a well known artist who works in many different media. Her work has been exhibited in numerous museums including the Hammer Museum and many international venues. Her first major U.S. museum exhibit just ended in September at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. You can find a nice selection of her work on the internet.
