Brain in Pandemic
Brain in Pandemic, 2020, oil painting, is a symbol of our collective unity in the fight against the pandemic, while Empty Gloves, 2020, is a personal remembrance of a colleague who passed away due to COVID-19. Kathryn believes we can do better to respond to medical emergencies and take heed of early warnings: “The coronavirus has left a wound that is still raw and not healed. I will never again take breathing for granted”.

It begins with the scalpel and concludes with the brush.”
