The Envision Arts Gallery is excited to welcome Nancy Tilson-Mallett in partnership with Envision University with her new exhibition titled Art & Science Intertwined: A Physician/Artist's Visual Journey on January 5, 2024.
As a retired academic physician, Nancy Tilson-Mallett brings her expertise in Internal Medicine and Hospice and Palliative Care into her vibrant artwork, which predominantly features silk paintings or complex cloth adorned with embroidery, felting, and beading.
At the heart of this exhibition is her personal encounter with glaucoma, diagnosed at age 45. Fascinated by the technical images of her retina and optic nerve, she translates these diagnostic studies into a series of unique and visually stunning interpretations on canvas. The exhibition showcases her deep connection with the microscopic and biological aspects revealed in medical imagery.
Her use of diverse techniques, such as embroidery and beading, adds a tactile dimension to her artwork, inviting viewers to engage with the intricate details of her creative process. Art & Science Intertwined: A Physician/Artist's Visual Journey is an invitation to witness the harmonious convergence of medicine and art, challenging traditional boundaries.
