This matted and signed original altered art was so much fun for me to create.  Is your doctor thinking outside the box?  This is what I'd love them to know... what we were taught in med school only scratches the surface of the magic and potential that we hold in our bodies.

I took my old medical school anatomy lab textbook and altered the pages using paint and inks to illustrate this in a very visual way. 

Because peeps... there really are two ways to look at everything... and this artwork is a fabulous reminder.

There are two ways to use your lungs... one way is to just breathe automatically in and out. 

The second way, and by far the more interesting way, to use your lungs to breathe deeply. 

Breathing in compassion and feeling the energy of the universe filling and supporting your body... then exhaling fully and breathing out gratitude and joy... seeing how your breathe connects with the entire universal rhythm, and using this connection to stand in awe and gratitude at how magnificent it is just to be alive.

Well, that's the way I want to think about it and so I created this work of art to remind me.

This is an 8x10 inch original altered textbook page and comes matted in an 11 x 14 inch mat which is signed by me, Laura Koniver, MD and is a one-of-a-kind, never to be repeated work of art.

If you are ready to take that next deep breath with a deeper level of understanding, this artwork is for you!
