Many thanks to Olivia Honsey, our new Contributing Photographer, for her lovely photo!

Olivia comments, “I have been collaborating with Healing Photo Art for only a month and already have a place in my heart for the foundation!

I am a senior at the University Of Minnesota studying Public Health and Health & Wellness coaching. Elaine spoke to my Public Health Professional Preparation class about the foundation and the opportunity to be a contributing photographer. I love the mission of Healing Photo Art! Nature has such a powerful healing effect and should be in places that prioritize health!

I spent 4 months in Scotland Fall of 2023 on a study abroad trip. I have never seen anything like the Scottish highlands. The peace I felt just standing amidst them is unexplainable. The photo I contributed was taken at the Fairy Glens in the Isle of Skye during early November right after sunset. The Fairy Glen is known for being a place of myth & wonder. My time at the Glen was just that! In the photo, you can see the classic lush Scottish green shrubs, trees, and grasses.

Elaine communicated so well with me through the process of finding one of my photos I wanted to contribute. She has the kindest heart! I am so happy to know her, the foundation, and to see the impact of all the photos!”

Welcome to Mary Stafford, our new Contributing Photographer!

Mary comments, “I first became acquainted with the Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals while awaiting the outcome of a loved one’s critical surgery. I was drawn to one of the large images in the room and noticed the credit to the Foundation. I had a long-held belief in the ability of certain images in art, especially those connected to the natural world, to offer a sense of peace and healing. However, I had never had such a powerful personal experience as that day while in the waiting room. Elaine Poggi was well ahead of her time in creating this global initiative. Her gift to the world goes beyond lovely Images. It is hope. I consider it a privilege to support her efforts as a contributing photographer.”

Many thanks to our new Contributing Photographer, Sally B. Simpson, for her lovely fawn photo!

Sally comments, “I first heard about the foundation for photo/art in hospitals, when a friend of mine told me about a field trip he took to the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, MO with his workplace where they were later encouraged to submit their photos for consideration to the foundation. My friend lovingly said to me, “You should submit a photo to them because your work is outstanding.”

After I found a fellow photographer and friend on the website, listed as a contributing photographer, I saw it as a “sign” or as a good omen. At the beginning of 2022, my mother was sick in a local St. Louis hospital. I would visit each weekend and walk the long halls of the hospital, and take pictures of the artwork that adorned the halls so she could see the beautiful art. My mother would say to me, “They should be so lucky to have your photos hanging on their walls.”

My mom passed away on 4/5/2022, and I can’t think of a better way to honor her memory by knowing that one of my nature photos may hang on the wall somewhere in the world. I hope that my photo brings comfort and solace to all who see.”
