Belmont Village Artist Stories Costen

Bob Costen, M.D.: Artist in Residence

Puzzle Maker and Map Collector
Belmont Village Westwood – Los Angeles

“I do not consider myself an artist because I do not create anything new. I used to repurpose broken illustrated books by making block puzzles and placing them within a handmade box. And, I only did them a home when I needed a break from my Internal Medicine practice. It is just a small part of my map collection, which is my true passion.”
