Laura Ferguson has made her own body the subject of her work, finding beauty in a curving spine and exploring the connections between pain, consciousness, and creativity. From 2008-2020, she was the Artist in Residence in the Master Scholars Program in Humanistic Medicine at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. The innovative Art & Anatomy drawing class she created has received national attention and inspired a bookArt & Anatomy: Drawings, a journal article, “Cutting Deep: The Transformative Power of Art in the Anatomy Lab,” and a short film, “How To Draw A Human Heart.” Since 2020, Laura has continued to guest teach and to advocate for the value of art-making in medical education.
