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!”

Welcome to Severine Chanay-Savoyen, our new Contributing Photographer!

My name is Séverine, and art has always been a source of solace and inspiration in my life. When I discovered Healing Art Photos, I was profoundly touched by its mission to use visual art to bring comfort and positivity to others.

Since early 2023, I have been thinking about ways to share the photographs I’ve taken, hoping they could bring joy to others. I was initially shy about sharing my work, but recently, after being diagnosed with ALS, I felt a renewed urgency to connect and make a difference. This journey led me to reach out to Elaine and donate one of my photos to this inspiring organization.

It is an incredible honor to contribute to a cause that aligns so deeply with my belief in the healing power of art. Knowing that my photograph may bring comfort or inspire someone in their time of need is profoundly meaningful to me.

Thank you for creating a space where art serves as a source of healing and hope. It is truly a privilege to support your mission.

With gratitude,
Séverine
