Art despite pain

My photo in the "New Beginnings" exhibition

From October 2018 through June 2019, my nature photo "Resilience" was on display as part of the “New Beginnings” juried art exhibition presented by the RBC Art & Heritage Centre, in collaboration with the McGill University Health Network (MUHC). The exhibition was displayed in a gallery setting at the main entrance of the Montreal General Hospital (MGH), and proved so popular that it was held-over for an extra two months beyond its planned six-month run.

This hospital was founded in 1821 and has a distinguished history within the field of medicine. Known as one of North America's most pioneering hospitals, the MGH is where bedside teaching was first introduced. It is also where Canada's first medical school was born, McGill University's renowned Faculty of Medicine.
Sir William Osler, often noted in the history of the then-new Johns Hopkins Medical School and Hospital and later as Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford, graduated from McGill in 1872 with a degree in medicine, and worked for many years at the Montreal General Hospital after his post-graduate studies.
