MEDICINE

Layers
by Amanda Means, Class of 2022, Long School of Medicine, UT Health San Antonio

While drawing "Layers" I was inspired by the beauty and complexity found in the study of medicine. The overlap between natural sciences
and the humanities is something that I enjoy in this field and have been able to use as a source of creativity.

Still Life: Fresh Summer Figs

This is an oil painting inspired by the beauty in nature that surrounds us in our
daily lives. I constantly find myself in awe of the beauty and meticulous organi-
zation of colors, textures and patterns in nature. My love for creating and appre-
ciating art led me to choose diagnostic radiology as my medical specialty. I am
so fortunate to be able to put my skills and passion for the visual arts to work
when I use various imaging modalities to help my patients lead healthier lives. I
know that the very visual and artistic field of diagnostic radiology will give me so
much meaning, value and purpose in my personal practice of medicine.
