Antigua Guatemala (2020)

I was in the right place at the right time to capture these pigeons in an iconic setting. The times were uncertain with the looming COVID Pandemic.

Isabelle Parisi, MD Class of 2028

Wedding Vows

Kourtney Monk, MD Class of 2026

Growing up, a photo of my parents hands taken on their wedding day was displayed in my home, and I was always captivated by its beauty and the love that it represented. Years later, I recreated this image as a drawing for my parents to commemorate their 25th wedding anniversary. To this day, this image hangs proudly in their home and is a lasting symbol of their love for one another.

Dabbling in Art Classes

Dabbling in Art Classes

Betsy Cha, M4, Class of 2024

Since finishing fourth year rotations, I’ve decided to venture out to find art classes around Kansas City. I always wished I took more art classes throughout life, so thought this was a great time to learn some new skills and hopefully find some hobbies I can continue in residency. Not all these pieces are done, but wanted to show off some of the process. Taking oil painting at Lacey Lewis School of Realist Art, pottery at Belger Arts, and stained glass making at Cherry Pit Collective.

Battle Within

Battle Within

Mandeep Kaur, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department PhD Candidate, 5th Year

This is a painting of a battlefield where the enemy is within, war is against our own obstructing thoughts and victory is the wisdom that sets you (the horse) free.
