STRAIGHT TALK with Elizabeth Jameson By Julia Buntaine Editor-in-Chief Valentine (2011). 5” x 5”. Solarplate etching on paper. Image courtesy of the artist. Elizabeth Jameson creates paintings based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images of the brain, revealing its hidden structure and beauty. Describing her work as “intimate portraits,” through her work Jameson has discovered not only the artist within herself but also the ways that the science of the brain can be shared with the general public. Jameson’s work has been exhibited internatio nally with an upcoming show at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. 22 SciArt in America April 2014
