UTHSC College of Pharmacy Dean Marie Chisholm-Burns is not only accomplished in the academic and patient care arena, but she is trying her hand at art as well. After a, “Night Out with the Dean,” in the early summer was held at a paint studio, she decided to branch out on her own. When asked how she found time to pick up painting she replied, “I find it relaxing…..As far as time, you just have to say, I am going to do this and rearrange priorities, [because you] need relaxation.” This was her first complete drawing and painting. She states, “This was a fun piece to do because it represents a special place for me – UTHSC.”
The framed painting was presented to alumni Dianne Duncan and Barbara Wells at the Golden Graduates event in October in recognition of their work as co-chairs planning the celebration.
