Meet the Artists of Ovations, Part II
A professor in the Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Department. A medical coder in the Radiology department. A program coordinator for the Office of Admissions. What do these UW employees have in common? They are all remarkable artists. Whether they are working with paint, wool, black ink, or in countless other mediums, they bring otherwise inexpressible [...]
Meet the Artists of Ovations, Part I
Paper feather sculptures that play with the boundaries of art and traditional frames. Photographs that combine digital photography, kite flying, and infrared imagery. Glass-leaded panels made of spent DNA sequencing “flow cells.” The product of early mornings, late nights, full weekends, and profound passion, these are just a few of the works that will be on view [...]
Foods of the World: Peru
Conchitas a la parmesana. Sudado de pescado. Lomo saltado. I had never heard of these dishes until a few years ago. I was completely unaware of what, in recent years, has been defined as one of the best cuisines in the world, until I met my half-Peruvian husband and explored Peru for the first time. [...]

Foods of the World: Italy. How to Cook Perfect Pasta.
If you have ever strolled through the streets of Italy and stopped for lunch at a family-run restaurant or grabbed a “square” of pizza, you might have noticed one thing: the simplicity of Italian cuisine. Simple, high-quality, seasonal ingredients, cooked using simple techniques. The main idea behind Italian cuisine is to use the best ingredients [...]
Foods of the World: Please Share Your Recipes!
Walking through the picturesque medieval alleys of Le Mont Saint-Michelle in France. Watching the sunset among the blue domed churches of Santorini in the Greek islands. Soaking in the harmony and peace of a Japanese garden. There’s nothing quite like those experiences, but for me, no trip to another country is complete if one doesn’t [...]
