"The Good, the Bad and the Beautiful"
Germs as Art
In a time where few want to think about germs, much less consider their inherent beauty, molecular biologist Dr. Sara SchesserBartra is on a mission to re-introduce all types of microscopic beings to people through her art, but in a much less contagious way.
Currently running at ArtServe in its Bienes Gallery through December 30, her solo exhibit entitled “Microbes: The Good, The Bad and The Beautiful” depicts an artistic interpretation of the many types of micro-organismsDr. SchesserBartra has seen and learned aboutduring her career as a scientist at the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine.

The Microbial World
We live in a microbial world. These tiny organisms inhabit the air, soil, water, and our bodies. Despite their minuscule size, they wield immense power and are vital for life itself. Although we know relatively little about them, there's so much we can learn. Microbes are crucial for our health, our lives, and the well-being of all life on Earth. When you examine these microscopic entities up close, you unveil a hidden world, one that is even more beautiful and spectacular than you could ever have imagined.
