Muscle Biopsy

Photograph of an acrylic painting of muscle

Marissa Miller

Acrylic on canvas, photographed by the artist.

This abstract piece was inspired by Marissa’s undergraduate education at The University of Texas at Arlington. She was inspired by muscle and bone physiology and thought she had completed the piece in 2015. During her first year of PA school at UAMS, she was inspired to revisit this piece after spending time in the gross anatomy lab. She finally completed the piece last year and it was chosen as a top 10 submission in the first annual UAMS IPE Art From The Heart event at the Arkansas Art Center.

Marissa Miller is a Physician’s Assistant student in the College of Health Professions at UAMS.
