Risa Moldovan
Artwork Donation to the Center
We are very pleased and greatly appreciative of Pittsburgh-area artist Risa Moldovan's donation of an original work of art for use by the UNC Center for Functional GI & Motility Disorders as cover art for our 2004 Seasons Greetings card and annual report. Titled "Exotic Delicacy," this painting conceived and designed by Ms. Moldovan is in the style of the Old Masters. Of her painting, Ms. Moldovan says: "As tea consumption became widespread at the end of the 17th Century, the exotic lemon, with its dangling peel, was a ubiquitous Dutch still-life theme."
Ms. Moldovan's great passion is painting in the style of the Old Masters, an art form she has developed into one of exceptional beauty and detail. Ms. Moldovan exhibits nationally. Highlights include a museum show in San Bernadino, CA, and presently the Galleries Steinberg in Chicago, IL. She was recently selected as a member of the Pennsylvania State Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts. For additional information on Ms. Moldovan's artwork, please visit her website at www.moldovanfinearts.com.
Ms. Moldovan's philanthropy includes original artwork donations to the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium, the Intestinal Disease Foundation, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC. Her association with and personal interest in the UNC Center began when Dr. Douglas Drossman, Co-Director of the UNC Center, addressed the Intestinal Disease Foundation in Pittsburgh, an organization founded by Ms. Moldovan and for which she serves as President Emeritus.
