P640 Cristina Brizi, Florence, Italy

Welcome to our new Contributing Photographer, Cristina Brizi!

Cristina comments, “I am proud to be part of Elaine’s Healing Photo Art project. For me, photography is a silent narrative that connects people through invisible words. Within spaces of care, the delicacy of a flower, the gentle curves of a landscape, or the power of a sea wave are transformed into ever-new emotions, because the gaze — and the heart — of each observer is always new.”

Mike comments, “I ran across Elaine’s organization quite by accident but I’m so glad I did. Having spent my career in the Army as a RN I’ve often been able to witness first-hand how good photography can take a person out of their current situation and give them hope in themselves and the world. I look forward to continuing to work with this organization and support the good that they do.”

Welcome to our new Contributing Photographer, Matteo Monzali, from Florence, Italy!

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.”

Crystal Fierros-Garcia, Le Cinque Terre, Italy (P633)

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.”
