Family Centered Health & Wellness

Our ultimate, holistic goal is to produce an environment that promotes family centered health and wellness through user generated art that inspires the spirit and calms the mind and encourages healing and well being.


An excerpt from Healthcare Design Magazine, “Creating An Art Community”

“Anderson explains that a research branch of the project investigated the healing power of art and the effect different forms of art have on the patient. Not only did this research uncover that photography is the most engaging form of artwork in hospitals because of its worldly grounding ability, but also the composition of the images is important. ‘When I was going through my selection, I would not put something that was more graphic in the infusion area or the private infusion area; nothing jagged like rocks or even something that would make you think of movement like a waterfall, because you're in a state of nausea when you're going through that treatment,’ says Anderson. ‘We were very sensitive to that.’

‘There is a flow. It feels peaceful,’ says Anderson. ‘It feels comforting and I think that's the whole thing about coming into these places. You're scared. When our health is compromised, (we) feel vulnerable. Who can help? Not a machine, it's a person. Even having images that people took represents that we're kind of all in this together. It really is symbolic how, in the end, we have to help each other out, or we're kind of alone.’

Ultimately, our art program is successful because the community members and families who enter the doors of one of our facilities have a feeling of comfort and well being. We bring in nature through the eyes of the communities we serve and nature can and does provide a sense of harmony and peace."
