New York Stands
I'm a New York trained psychiatrist, an activist, and a physician advocate. As an artist, I founded a physician artist group on social media which has helped myself and others survive some of the most difficult times of our lives. As a form of service to my colleagues during this pandemic I've also been collecting stories from all healthcare personnel who fear retaliation, and painting their message through art to help them feel heard and give them a voice. The attached photo includes one of my (so far 13) daily drawings painted in support of my friends and colleagues who are working in the frontline in NYC. I trained in New York for 6 years and my colleagues there, remain my heroes.
