About the series:

“From August through December 2013, as part of a social medicine project I met with a group of four teenage girls in the third-floor conference room of a Bronx family health center. Over healthy snacks we discussed topics relevant to growing up as a girl in this Bronx community: obesity, violence, exercise, access to green spaces, relationships, body image and sexuality–complex issues which gave them an opportunity to voice their dreams for themselves and their community. Each girl was given a disposable camera and asked to take photographs of

About the artist:

“I’m a retired physician enlarging my life with art. After years of sculpting and painting, I began to combine them by adding collage elements: I paint figurative bas-reliefs with impressionistic technique and an occasional bow to abstraction. My favorite subjects are scenes from nature and human portraits. I’ve been influenced by more artists than I can name. My years as a physician bend my perception towards a humanistic ethos.”

About the artist:

“I paint, draw, work in terra-cotta, glass, stone and wood. I like mixed media, and I adore metallics and glitter. Visually, I am deeply concerned with the impact of light upon a scene or an object. My themes reflect my inner and outer worlds. I often paint issues that concern me: conditions in jail, impact on victims, and medical realities. I don’t try to be controversial; however, it is imperative to me that my work be authentic–no calendar art for me! I only do art to
