I recorded this late one night when I was with The Subs. This song describes a tickling sensation that I get sometimes on the soles of my feet.

That Kitchen Clock
Liam Lynch, M3, Class of 2026
I’ve been playing and writing songs on the guitar all throughout medical school. It is a way for me to fully express my creativity and passion for music, and has become a pursuit in its own right to me.

Isabelle Parisi, MD Class of 2028
“KnockOut” was created right before I began my application to medical school. At the time I was going through intense turmoil in my personal life and was struggling to balance it all. I created this work to symbolize my trust in myself, that no matter what, I would get through it. No matter how many times I would get knocked down, I’ll always keep getting back up.
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.

There is something beautiful about the fall and the completion of another cycle. The bright colors of the summer are gone but the seed of a new year is formed.

Learning Crochet for the First Time
Lina Chiem, School of Nursing, N2, Class of 2026
I recently started learning how to crochet, and while it was difficult at first, I was beginning to get the hang of it after practicing every stitch. I began to realize that there was a lot of repetition with the stitches but that is what brings the piece to life.

Antigua Guatemala (2020)
I went on an International Educational Exchange program through KUMCIO. One of our stops was Antigua, Guatemala. This clock tower arch is a landmark in the city. 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. We were actually uncertain if we would be allowed to leave the country and return to the US. Luckily, we were one of the last flights from Guatemala for a while and when we landed back in the USA the whole team was quarantined for 2 weeks. The image brought a feeling of hope and serenity.

Kimlan Phan, M1, Class of 2027
Ceramics has been my form of therapy since high school. Even now as a medical student, I continue to dedicate hours every week to the craft and experimenting with new techniques. I work from the KC Clay Guild, a local non-profit ceramics art studio where I also volunteer. Recently, I’ve been trying my hand at underglaze painting and throwing with porcelain, a notoriously finicky but beautiful clay body. The Gray Heron Bowl and the Dragon Bowl were inspired by Studio Ghibli movies, The Gray Heron and Spirited Away. Their films always leave me in awe of the beautiful art, and I tried to capture that in a new form.
