Art and Med
For over a decade Ted Meyer had curated art shows focusing on artworks by patient-artists as a means of teaching future doctors and current medical workers about the lived experience of chronic pain and illness.
These patient-artists create work that depicts the myriad of ways their illnesses affect day-to-day living, physical health and mental well-being. Like all important art, patient artwork makes strong statements about the human condition. These works are personal in their creation yet universal in their scope.
