My life took a sharp turn several years ago, necessitating I find solid and regular income--in addition to the come-and-go client-driven world of the artist. So I branched out and applied to nursing school. Many might think art and healthcare have nothing in common, but I would say inquisitive, thoughtful people can succeed anywhere, and I can't think of a place in more desperate need of creativity than a hospital. As a result, I spent inordinate hours at coffee shops plugging away at anatomy, microbiology, and mental health nursing along with a million more topics (probably not much of a hyperbole here). After a time, I began to notice how interesting the dogs were hanging out waiting outside the coffee shops for their owners. As an homage to the cafes, which played a huge part in paving the way toward my successful nursing career, I decided to paint a few of them.
