Scarred for Life
Ted Meyer
"It isn't just a scar. It's my scar." Artist Ted Meyer creates a graphic yet beautiful depiction of his life with Gaucher's Disease and its resulting scars, along with the physical scars of others, through his collection of artworks entitled Scarred for Life. The exhibition consists of up to 60 artistically enhanced monoprints taken directly from the scarred skin of his subjects. Each image – accompanied by a photographic portrait of the subject - tells a unique and intriguing story of medical crisis, resilience and healing.

The Venereal Narratives & Other Cautionary Tales
Daphne Hill
The Venereal Narrative Series emerged after artist Daphne Hill had "the talk" about safe sex with her
11 year-old son. Hill began to think about sexually transmitted diseases and their impact on people over the centuries. Her resulting mixed media collages depict silhouetted romantic couples in which one or both partners suffers from a sexually transmitted disease; their personal stories are left to the viewer's imagination. Anxiety – about random diseases, epidemics and genetic deviations – fuels much of what Hill creates: "Instead of wallowing in worry and anxiety, I'm compelled to express these health issues as beautiful and palatable, even funny." The result is a collection of whimsically startling images that compel viewers to examine their own fears about communicable diseases and the hidden potential they have to profoundly impact self, loved ones and society at large.

I AM ME
Self-portraits by adults with developmental disabilities
I AM ME presents the work of up to 30 visual artists from St. Madeleine Sophie's Center for adults with developmental disabilities in El Cajon, California. Each artwork is presented with a short biography written by the artist. Additional information about each artist and their work is supplied by Wendy Morris, Administrator of St. Sophie's Gallery. This collection of original self-portraits powerfully refutes many of our stereotyped assumptions about people with developmental disabilities and their capacity for depth of knowledge, emotional insight and creative talent.
