Transforming Illness with Creativity
The following post features artist Elizabeth Jameson’s work and artist overview with a link to an indepth artist interview. Jameson has used art as an empowering process in her journey with Multiple Sclerosis.
Overview
Elizabeth Jameson is an artist whose work explores the beauty and complexity of the brain. Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1992, she turned from a career in law to one in art – using her illness, specifically her brain scans, as a source of inspiration. She often exhibits her work in medical and healthcare settings, hoping that it will “remind viewers that this grey tissue and the body that shelters it represent far more than illness and human imperfection.”
