Abstract

Description I have been drawing since I was old enough to hold a crayon. I love creating medical art and frequently make cartoons or illustrations of procedures, but I also use art as a way to show appreciation for fellow colleagues, surgeons, and other health care professionals by creating their likenesses on the cards from surgical gowns. My goal is to draw all of my colleagues at the 3 HCA Healthcare hospitals in western North Carolina where I work.

Keywords: drawing; health care professionals; illustration; medicine in the arts; portraits.
