In our July-August issue, we feature nine artists, who express themselves because of – or in spite of – their arthritis. Here, learn more about these inspiring, creative folks, and let us introduce you to a few more artists.

Several of the artists featured in this article were exhibitors in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons eMotionPictures: An Exhibition of Orthopaedics in Art. For more information and to view the gallery, visit http://emotionpictures.aaos.org.
