Four Seasons in Burnet Woods

Four Seasons in Burnet Woods

Rama Kasturi, a PhD in Chemistry, calls herself an accidental artist. Her intimate relationship with Burnet Wood’s natural world afforded her the space and time to heal from the traumas of her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, the death of her beloved walking companion Argos, and providing palliative care for her mother battling metastatic breast cancer. Dr. Kasturi attributes daily walks with her rescue dogs on the wooded trails of her neighborhood park with helping her regain robust physical, mental, and spiritual health. This exhibit, Four Seasons in Burnet Woods, contains her nature photography depicting that journey originally published in her book by the same title. Click here to watch Kasturi discuss her journey with WCPO's Kristyn Hartman.
