About the Artist

Jeremy Morton is an Atlanta-based emerging artist and neurophysiologist whose work bridges the language of art, science, and the human nervous system.

After losing mobility and taking short-term disability in 2023 due to nerve injury and chronic pain, he began painting as a form of rehabilitation and rediscovery — transforming physical limitation into creative liberation.

His multidisciplinary practice fuses painting, sound, scent, and light into immersive environments that awaken emotional memory. Each work functions like a living signal — something to be felt, not just seen — inviting others to reconnect with presence, sensation, and empathy in a distracted world.

As a speaker and storyteller, Jeremy shares his journey from surgical neurophysiology to sensory art, exploring how creativity rewires pain, identity, and resilience. His talks merge neuroscience, artistic process, and embodiment, offering a rare intersection of intellect and humanity.

Currently exhibiting in Midtown Atlanta with large-scale banners from Radiant Roots: Atlanta’s Tapestry of Light, Jeremy’s work continues to evolve toward public installations, multisensory performances, and art that heals through connection.

After more than a decade in the operating room monitoring the brain and spine in real time, I began painting what I was witnessing — the living network of human energy. Studies at Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Duke for Medical Neuroscience and advance imaging deepened my understanding of neurobiology and perception, shaping a visual and experiential language that bridges cubism, surrealism, and neuroscience.
