#15 Kevin Liu | The Artist Within: Finding Beauty in the Mundane and Meaning in the Meaningless

For Kevin, the job of the artist is to find things in the world that are beautiful- or have the potential to become beautiful. While many things may not initially seem - beautiful, all it takes is a change in angle, lighting, or color to bring out their true character. Something that is beautiful to him is not just something that is nice to look at, but something that fills your mind with wonder- something that  makes you stop and think.

Kevin is a senior from Boston, studying biochemistry, Spanish, and studio art at Vanderbilt University. On campus he conducts colorectal cancer research in the King lab at ESB and is also a member of the SyBBURE Searle Undergraduate research program. Kevin has also been the president of the Kefi Collective, Vanderbilt's public arts organization, for two years. After graduating, he intends to attend medical school for an MSTP program.

In this episode, Kevin takes us back in time to when he first fell in love with art, the transformative evolving relationships, and its delicate balance with nature, gymnastic, music and science. Let’s dive right into it!
