My Story
I’m a doctor, an educator, an artist and a public speaker. I launched X-Ray Artistry in 2015 and have been a radiologist and an educator for nearly 25 years. It took me twenty years to collect the 26 letters of my x-ray alphabet. In 2014, my first piece, RSNA 100, a Century of Transforming Medicine, won honorable mention in a national art contest sponsored by the Radiologic Society of North America, to celebrate their Centennial and was displayed at their annual conference in Chicago. My artwork is part of a growing medical trend that recognizes art’s ability to reduce anxiety, increase productivity in medical offices and improve patient outcomes.
My x-ray art has been exhibited in galleries in Philadelphia, at the New Hope Arts and Crafts Festival, the Cultural Center of Scranton, Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ and the Parallax Arts Fair in London. My work is in collections throughout the U.S. and in places as remote as Kuala Lumpur and Australia.
I’ve been featured in PhillyVoice.com, Healthcare Design Magazine, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Small Business Section, Temple Medical School Quarterly Magazine and Princeton Photography Club, Year in Review.
In 2017, I was a lead speaker at the Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography Conference, and at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM). I was invited as an exhibitor and speaker at the national Healthcare Design Expo 2018 in Phoenix, Arizona.
