This is the second installation of a series in which Spectrum highlights some of the student artists here at Columbia. This week, we spoke to Claire-Audrey Bayan, a post-bac student at Columbia who graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2010.
Josephine McGowan: Tell me a bit about your initial interest in art.
Claire-Audrey Bayan: It wasn’t really a choice. When I was seven, my art mentor told my parents that I should work with him in his studio because he thought I had a gift.
JM: How did you become interested in medicine, and how did you start meshing science and art?
