In the age of smart phones, the art of reading a map is slowly being forgotten, but famous artist Ed Fairburn reimagines maps as canvases for his detailed portraits. Breathing life into the organized patterns, Ed transforms the topography into recognizable human features using ink, watercolors and pencil. A mountain range becomes the curvature of a neck and winding streets become fine lines…and now he’s using his illustrations to show the complexities of migraine. Ed is also one of the millions of people who has lived with migraine and knows first-hand how debilitating they can be. Both guests will also talk about a new educational program called “Reroute Migraine Relief,” which aims to raise awareness of the complexities of migraines. More information will be available at www.reroutemigrainerelief.com/. HERE TO EXPLAIN HOW HE’S USING HIS ART TO ILLUSTRATE THE COMPLEXITIES OF MIGRAINE, IS ARTIST ED FAIRBURN.
