Mixed Media Art By Dr. Suzanne Adkins

NEW FOR 2023!

Suzanne LaKamp Adkins, OD, FAAO, has turned to art as a useful diversion. Her day job keeps her busy, working on ocular disease cases and co-managing on glaucoma, retina and refractive surgery as an OD in a 30-doctor OD/MD practice in Kansas City, Kansas.

But working with acrylics and oils and most recently wax pastels brings a different dimension to Dr. Adkins’ life. “I make art to bring balance to a part of my life. A lot of us expect complete fulfillment out of our jobs, and I love optometry, but you can’t expect the world out of one thing,” she says. “You need to find other areas to deliver that,” she says.
