The Year in Review: Perfusion Art 2019
Merry Christmas 2019! Be KIND- Allow Love into your Heart 🙂
Editor’s Note:
Its been a heck of a year. The world is less safe, things are heating up, heart surgery doesn’t stop, and our assertion as perfusionists- to deliver undiminished supreme performance each and every day- remains unaffected- because that is the nature of this breed.
We do what others cannot, we endeavor where few would have the continuity of dedication and determination to remain on-course, and we do it well!
I present a few images from the last year.
Pictures help us see our world without the embellishments and color distortions of the events around us. Art is unswayed and dissipates external influences- reflecting an abstract nod from the life perspective of the individual absorbing it.
We see what we expect to see. Hopefully these pieces below- give a glimpse into the refraction we may have missed or were absorbed into anonymity due to repetitive familiarity and overexposure.
Here are just a few images from the last year, of the so many aspects of our lives-

I’m proud of US 🙂
