Art Attack

In March 2020, Mr. Abraham (Abe) Miller, a Rockland County resident, was among the first COVID-19 patients admitted to Westchester Medical Center. For weeks, his condition was critical: He was on a ventilator, on ECMO (a type of lung bypass machine), and in a medically induced coma.

When he woke up, the 69-year-old entrepreneur, who had never studied art, announced that he wanted to become a painter. He has since painted more than 500 works of art and has written a book, “From COVID to Canvas,” all of which can be seen on his website.

Last October, Mr. Miller donated three pieces of his artwork to Westchester Medical Center in appreciation for their care. We spoke with Mr. Miller and Dr. Elliot (Avi) Levine, the physician who oversaw his ICU care.
