This is the 4th anniversary of the Geras Healthcare Productions monthly e-journal Creative Biomedical Visualization.
Until now, the journal has only been available to our subscribers, but beginning this month, we will be posting the journal under our News heading.
Creative Biomedical Visualization has been a very successful medium providing Audra Geras with the opportunity to share her thoughts on a variety of topics, including the science and concept development behind her illustrations, as well as other subjects related to biomedical visualization.
We hope that you will enjoy this first posted issue!
Audra Geras, an emerging fine artist, will have 20 of her abstract digital paintings included in a group show at the Soho Arthouse in New York. The gallery's spring show, entitled SPRUNG, will have its opening on March 3rd from 6 to 9 PM. The gallery is located at 138 Sullivan Street, NY, NY. The response to Audra's evocative and lyrical paintings has been very enthusiastic and Audra is excited to be participating in the group exhibit. Audra's fine art paintings are available in the form of limited edition museum quality giclée prints. The two paintings shown here were created in 2014 and will be included in the show. They form a diptych entitled 'Chrysalis' and 'Emergence', each 22" by 35".
We are proud to announce that Audra Geras has launched a new website featuring her evocative abstract paintings. We welcome you to view a selection of her fine art in the online gallery at: www.audragerasfineart.com
"In my fine art, my aspiration is to create paintings that are evocative and mysterious as opposed to representational. These images are inspired by the real world, exploring subjects such as nature, technology, and the workings of the human mind. They are emotional, philosophical and conceptual in interpretation.
In my work as a professional biomedical artist, I elucidate what can't be seen. In a philosophical sense, this is my goal as a fine artist as well. Art has the power to transport us back to a child-like state of wonder and curiosity, engaging us in an experience that transcends science. To awaken a sense of wonder through art seems a singularly worthy aspiration."
GHP's work was again the central focus of a global pharmaceutical exhibit booth, this time at the American College of Rheumatology conference in Washington D.C this November, 2012. A new 3D animated GHP video entitled Cytokines In and Out of Balance, and 3 new illustrated exhibit panels by Audra Geras were prominently displayed. Audra's illustrations depicted the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriatic arthritis. The visuals were very favourably received, and Audra herself was able to attend the conference on the client's invitation in order to see the work 'in action'.
The large format mural painting shown below depicts the key events in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis as seen in a cross-section through a synovial joint.
GHP's 3D animated video Interleukin-17A in Disease was again featured in a global pharmaceutical company's exhibit booth, this time at the EADV conference in Prague, September, 2012. Audra also created 3 new illustrated exhibit panels on the subject of Interleukin-17A and its role in disease for the exhibit.
GHP's work was prominently exhibited at the EULAR Congress in Berlin. The 3D animated video entitled Interleukin-17A in Disease, produced by GHP, along with six 48" illustrated exhibit panels, provided the primary visual focus for a global pharmaceutical giant's beautiful booth. The exhibit panels depicted the role of IL-17A in the pathophysiology of immune-mediated diseases.
A collection of 28 of Audra’s biomedical paintings will be on display at a solo exhibit at the gallery of Cline Davis Mann, New York, 220 East 42nd Street. The collection had recently been on display at Pfizer World Headquarters Art Gallery, New York, for a period of 6 months where it received wonderful reviews.

Excerpts from Audra's talk:
" Using our knowledge and communication skills we teach and enlighten, but it is our artistry, creativity and our sensibility to the aesthetic that paradoxically makes the radiant mystery of science even more apparent. It is the greatest tool for "deepening the mystery" and promoting understanding in the larger sense, an understanding of what remains beyond our understanding."
" The future will require people who think the way we do, people with multidisciplinary, creative and problem-solving minds, people who can help bridge the gap between art and science and whose work often means the difference between ignorance and understanding."
5 of Audra’s biomedical paintings have been selected for inclusion in an exhibit of Biomedical Art at the TEDMED conference in San Diego Oct. 25-28, 2011 exploring the cutting edge of health and medicine. Over 100 artists submitted a maximum of 5 paintings for consideration, and the work of 20 finalists was selected for the prestigious exhibit. We are very excited that all 5 of Audra’s submissions have been accepted for the show which will be on view to some of the best minds in science and medicine world-wide.
We are pleased to announce that the artwork of Audra Geras was selected for this year’s Science Agora exhibit of medical art in Tokyo, Japan. The exhibit took place at the Tokyo Academic Park.
