Kelly thoroughly enjoyed the Gala last year and is looking forward to another memorable evening celebrating the many artistic talents of the UBC medical community!
Kristie Mar
Art Show Director
Hi, I'm Kristie, a third-year VFMP student, and I'm excited to be the Art Show Director for this year's Spring Gala.
Throughout medical school, I've found solace and relaxation through my hobbies of painting and drawing. It's my way of unwinding and expressing myself when school gets overwhelming. I really believe in the power of art to de-stress, discover yourself, and just connect with others in a different way.
Art is more than just pretty pictures; it's a universal language that speaks to people with a variety of messages. I'm excited about giving our talented classmates a chance to showcase their creations at the gala and appreciate the different reasons why people find joy in creating.
