About the Artist James E. George, M.D., J.D.
“I have traveled an unlikely pathway to becoming an artist. My training as a medical doctor and attorney was not focused on art. In June of 2016, everything changed for me. I fell in my home and suffered a brain and spinal cord injury, which left me in a coma with quadriplegia.
During a six month stay at Magee Rehabilitation Hospital in Philadelphia, I discovered great joy in art therapy and painting.
Through my work, I hope to inspire patients, families, and others and connect them to my abstract art. Art heals the mind, body, and spirit—it is the gift that was given to me, and the one I want to share and make accessible to everyone.
