Saving lives is my mission as a Doctor. And now, after 8 years, I realize that it is time for me to share my other side, as an Artist.
I am a physician who specializes in Pulmonary Medicine and Critical Care. As a physician, I aim for perfection in everything I do. My main goal is to save lives,and relieve pain and suffering. Eight years ago, I started to take photographs of peaceful and tranquil scenes from nature, and put these images on the walls of my office. As a physician and an artist, both professions require the mind, the heart and the hand. The photographic artwork which fills my office has brought peace and serenity to myself and my patients. For eight years I focused on perfecting my techniques. Now, I realize it is time for me to share the other side of me, as an artist.
