The fear and anxiety of the first wave of the pandemic prompted a radiologist at Cambridge Memorial Hospital to put her paint brush to canvas and create a self-portrait called Frontline. Dr. Kari Visscher says she wanted the painting to represent the emotions she felt during March of 2020. "It represents health care workers who continue to provide care despite not always feeling or being properly protected. The left leg: her left leg is raised slightly, as if taking a step forward, suggesting a movement, possibly stepping into or out of this pandemic. In this case Dr. Visscher has chosen Cambridge Memorial Hospital to receive the money if her painting wins.
