A Portrait of Compassion.
Honoring Dr Agnes Lau:
A Portrait of Compassion and Professionalism
Dr. Agnes Lau, a name synonymous with kindness and excellence in healthcare, has been an inspiration to many.
From what I discovered, her influence extended far beyond her professional achievements, touching the lives of her colleagues and patients in profound ways.
While I have not had the privilege of meeting her personally, the stories I heard and the sentiments shared about her paint a vivid picture of a physician who was much more than just a medical professional.
Dr. Lau recently retired from Massachusetts General Hospital, and was the founder of the Division of Dentistry at MGH in Boston, MA. The painting was a gift from her colleagues.
Created from a reference photo
The original photograph was captured on location in a patient exam room at Mass General Hospital, with permission granted by them to use as the reference for this commission.

A Caring Provider and Inspiration to her Team.
By all accounts, Dr Lau's professionalism and courtesy were unwavering. Her diligence and knowledge in her field impressed colleagues and patients alike. She was not just a doctor but a mentor and a guide, leaving a lasting impact on everyone she worked with. Her retirement from the profession is deeply felt, as echoed in the words of many who say, “she will be missed.”
Capturing the essence of Dr. Lau in a portrait was more than just replicating her likeness. It was about encapsulating her spirit – the kindness in her eyes, the calmness in her demeanor, and the gentle strength that she carried. Throughout the process, I aimed to portray the qualities that made her an extraordinary person.
A Daily Reminder of her Contributions.
This painting, which now graces her home, serves as a reminder of her invaluable contributions. It’s a tribute to a physician who, in her modest way, left an indelible mark on those she worked with and cared for. Her portrait reflects the respect and admiration she garnered throughout her career.
A Lifelong Memory.
