Artist Info

As a neonatologist who has been privileged to work in neonatal intensive care units in the United States and do global health medicine, I have witnessed a substantial amount of suffering and death. I have also witnessed the incredible resilience of children and the awe-inspiring dedication and love of their families. These experiences shape my art. My hope is that my art will promote reflection about issues related to justice, equity, and the value of life.
