 Overview

using creativity to heal and transform illness.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.”
