3 Painting Commission from University of California, San Francisco Precision Cancer Medical Building

I’m pleased to announce that my three paintings, Peace Be With You, The Beauty Within and New, Blue commissioned for the Precision Cancer Medicine Building at University of California San Francisco’s Mission Bay Medical Center have been installed and are on view to the public.

I’m grateful to Donna Napper and Chandra Cerrito of Chandra Cerrito Art Advisors who sourced and commissioned all the work for this state of the art cancer care center. Interestingly, this commission came in at a critical and synchronistic time in my own life. Initially they reached out to me exactly two weeks after my mom was diagnosed with cancer and exactly two weeks before she passed. So this commission had special significance for me and it is a true honor to have my work exhibited in this facility and it is my deepest wish that it supports others during a challenging time.

You can learn more about the building here.

Two Exhibits in Sakai, Osaka, Japan this October

Meeting, acrylic on wood panel, 6″ x 6″

There will be two exhibits in October in Sakai, Japan. I’ll be exhibiting alongside a group of artists from the area at Sakai City Museum and Gallery IROHANI. The sister city exchange I was involved with in 2010 was one of the most satisfying of my career. This wonderful group of artists invited us to visit and exhibit with them and our group of Berkeley and Oakland area artists hosted them the following year. Our friendship continues with this pair of exhibits.

Interview with The Studio Work blog

April 20th, 2017 by Michele Thebérge

It was a pleasure to have been interviewed for The Studio Work blog in March. The full interview can be found here.

As expected, seeing the work of Michele Théberge in person is a much different experience than seeing it on a screen.  The luminous layers and sense of space is not easily explained, but more readily felt.  Her work stems from a meditation practice, and “my deep desire to share the experience of meditation in a visual way. To offer the sense of calm and expansion I experience.”
