Many thanks to Taylor Stevens, our new Contributing Photographer!

Taylor comments, “I think the Healing Arts Foundation is one of the best charitable ideas I’ve come across. I really love its simplicity and straightforward values of connecting with others through artwork. Hospitals are lonely places and as a contributing photographer, I’m truly grateful that perhaps one of my photos can brighten someone’s darkest days- who needs it the most. Truly a wonderful cause, and I’m so thankful to be a part of it.”

Richard Myers, Alaska USA (P634)

Welcome to our new Contributing Photographer, Richard Myers!

Richard comments, “Having spent most of my work-a-day life in medical schools and other assorted hospitals, it was a very comforting diversion for patients and staff to lock in on a beautiful photographic scene and “leave” the immediate environment behind for the moment.
Elaine and the HEALING PHOTO ARTS, are on the leading edge of what makes healing establishments much more therapeutic and with better outcomes by helping to reduce the often high stress and anxious situations in those settings.
I am blessed to be able to continue to be part of healing environments now through my photographic contributions. I cannot say enough about the stable of beautiful and often relaxing images provided by the healing photo art foundation. No medical setting should be without the beautiful healing influence of these photographs.”

Many thanks to our new Contributing Photographer, Crystal Fierros-Garcia, for her lovely photo!

Crystal comments, “Hi! My name is Crystal Fierros-Garcia. I volunteered with the foundation during my spring study abroad in Florence. I found out about this organization through my school Florence University of the Arts. I wanted to give back in a way and this was the perfect fit for my chaotic schedule. I had lots of fun getting to meet other students volunteering for the organization as well as getting to know Elaine. I am honored to have been involved in such a meaningful organization!”

Uwe Hahn, Moritzburg, Germany (631)

Welcome to Uwe Hahn, our new Contributing Photographer!

Uwe comments, “Hello! My name is Uwe Hahn, and I discovered the Healing Photo Art website more by chance. I’m already retired, but I spend some of my free time on a cancer ward at a local hospital reading stories to sick children. Simply to distract them from the stressful daily hospital routine for a while. I know how important these things are for the healing process. When I found this website, I was immediately fascinated by the concept. And since I also enjoy photography, I thought it would be a good idea to join the website as a contributing photographer. I contacted Elaine and I’m now proud that my first photo has found a place in her gallery.
May this and all the others bring a smile to the faces of patients and hospital staff and temporarily ease the illness.”

Enjoy this beautiful photo of our new Contributing Photographer, Isabel Lamporte!

Isabel comments, “Hello everyone, my name is Isabel Lamporte. I am a volunteer researching neuro aesthetics and a contributing photographer for Healing Photo Art. I am volunteering from Florence, Italy and it has been an incredible experience. I got connected with the foundation through Syracuse University, where I am an Environmental and Interior Design major. So, my studies and career connect directly with the mission of the foundation to create medical spaces more comfortable for all the people that use it. I love using my photography as inspiration for my interior projects and hope I can continue to make a positive impact by contributing to Healing Photo Art!”

The first photo I have contributed is really special to me because it was taken in the country I grew up in: South Africa. I am excited to share the comfort and joy that sunsets in the Western Cape always used to give me!”

Enjoy this beautiful rainbow photo by our new Contributing Photographer, Haylee Hutson!

Haylee comments, “Hello, my name is Haylee Hutson, and I am volunteering for the Healing Photo Art Foundation through the Syracuse University Florence I-Volunteer program! I am currently in my third year of college at Syracuse University, where I am studying marketing and entrepreneurship. I am thrilled to be a contributing photographer for this wonderful non-profit to help spread a sense of joy to those spending their time in hospitals. I’ve had the luxury of being able to take beautiful pictures across all different terrains throughout the world, and I am so excited for this opportunity to share them as a vital part of the foundation’s mission.

Here is one of my first contributions to the foundation, which was taken at Saranac Lake in Upstate New York. Being from Syracuse as well, I’ve ventured to many stunning Upstate locations like this one. This was taken right after an intense rainstorm, and I thought it was a special and comforting capture of a bold rainbow. I am honored to contribute to such a meaningful cause!”
