In this virtual workshop, neuroscience PhD student and host of the The Chronic Connection Podcast Morgan Fitzgerald will lead participants to explore the relationship between chronic pain and visual art, and to find a creative outlet to express and cope with their pain. In a supportive environment, individuals will share and process their experiences and perspectives through a short presentation, guided drawing exercises, and group sharing/discussion. This workshop engages with art as a means of transformative emotional processing and healing, with the ultimate goal to empower participants and strengthen a sense of community.

About Morgan Fitzgerald: "As a neuroscience PhD student, emerging artist, and patient advocate, I am driven by the powerful intersection of art and advocacy. Living with chronic pain since the age of 12 has been an enduring and arduous journey. My profound struggle with chronic pain has shaped my perspective and fueled my passion for advocacy. By intertwining art, my personal experience, and my advocacy work, I strive to amplify the voices of those living with chronic pain, spark meaningful conversations, and drive positive change in healthcare and society." Fitzgerald is the founder and host of the The Chronic Connection Podcas, a series fo conversations dedicated to inspiring, empowering, and connecting women living with chronic illness.
