Falling on train tracks and shattering your leg can be a life-changing experience.  For Bhavisha Patel it was transformative one. Raised in Kenya and educated in England, Bhavisha was a litigation attorney practicing in New York. After the accident she underwent multiple surgeries over several years. During her recovery she returned to painting. And it was painting she says that made her whole in moments of despair.

Bhavisha began painting with minimal formal training, but through books and experimenting she developed her own unique style. Now over fifty she has been painting for the last twenty years. "Art," she says, "is a vehicle to find internal strength." This lawyer turned artist lives in Philadelphia and her work has been exhibited locally and in galleries throughout the world.

In today's episode Nadine O. sits down with painter Bhavisha Patel to talk about how she continues to find meaning and create art in later life.
