This exhibition examines the vital role that medical artists and their illustrations occupy in advancing the study and practice of medicine. Medical illustrations are used by physicians to share their techniques, by researchers to find answers, by medical students to learn and by patients to understand. Mayo Clinic has one of the largest collections of medical illustration in the world with more than 60,000 pieces; about 150 of which are on display. The exhibition features original medical art rendered in a variety of media such as carbon dust, pen and ink, watercolor, airbrush and digital media. The illustrations range from interpretations of the human form to animated voyages inside the human body, studies of the brain, molecules and gene clusters, skeletons, and a rare look at the unique anatomy of conjoined twins.

For the past ten years, a group of women, who are low vision or blind, has entered the doors of The Cummer to find fulfillment through the communicative power of the visual and literary arts. This fall, an exhibition of the art and writing created as part of the Women of Vision program will be on display in the museum’s galleries. For many of the women this program has afforded the opportunity to take part in their very first art experience; for others, it is the continuation of a life-long creative pursuit. The women have used their hands to create powerful works of art and their minds to produce moving literary compositions. Most importantly, this experiment in “seeing” has served as a vehicle for personal reflection and the building of community to those who were previously isolated. This ten-year anniversary exhibition and related programs acknowledge the importance of access programming in museums and the national prominence of the Women of Vision program. The programming related to this exhibition is generously supported by Vistakon, W.W. Gay and VSA Arts of Florida. Read Less

Phil Sandusky (b. 1957), a Jacksonville native and artist now living and working in New Orleans, established his artistic reputation by painting scenes of his adopted city, before and after Hurricane Katrina. His working method is to set up his easel in a particular spot, in the open air (“en-plein-air”), rendering with his brush an immediate and glowing impression of the scene in front of his eyes. An exhibition of highly characteristic and colorful pictures of Jacksonville follows on the heels of his New Orleans’ paintings. His painterly observations are recognizable and compelling, whether he sets up his easel in Jacksonville’s downtown area or in traditional neighborhoods and forgotten cul-de-sacs. The bridges over the St. Johns River, the shrimp boats at Mayport and the Northeast Florida beaches and marshes have found a 21st century Impressionist interpreter. Phil Sandusky serves as an instructor of landscape and life painting at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts. Read Less
