Artist and health researcher Dr. Mark Gilbert explores the clinical and human applications of portraiture for patients, caregivers, medical education, and even for himself. His portraits depict caregivers\u2019 and patients\u2019 stories and experiences of illness and recovery, expressing a process recording an intimate collaboration between artist and sitter. Dr. Gilbert reflects back on his family\u2019s artistic practice, his own beginnings with art and portraiture, and his two decade exploration of artistic processes that express the importance of compassionate engagement, a key feature of his arts-based research into portraiture\u2019s clinical, ethical, and aesthetic applications. As Dr. Gilbert says, drawing is listening. This show is part two of two.
