247. Rachel Mindrup on Artistic Approaches for Impacting Legislation

My guest today is artist Rachel Mindrup.  





Mindrup was raised in Omaha and received her Bachelor of Fine
Arts from the University of Nebraska Kearney before receiving her
Master of Fine Arts from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley
University. 





She is an associate professor of drawing and painting and the
Richard L. Deming, MD Endowed Chair in Medical Humanities at
Creighton University.





We’re talking about how Mindrup balances medicine, healing, and
identity through her artistic practice, as well as her work
advocating for Neurofibromatosis on Capitol Hill.
