Many thanks to Myra Xu, our new Contributing Photographer, for her lovely photo!

Myra comments, “I found Healing Photo Art when I was studying abroad in Florence, looking for an opportunity to engage with local culture and make a positive impact. The prospect of using my photography to bring comfort, hope, and healing to individuals in local hospitals resonated deeply with my values and professional goals. Elaine’s kindhearted nature and genuine compassion also shone through in every interaction I’ve had with her as a student intern and contributing photographer, fostering a sense of purpose and community that fuels our collective efforts. I am so grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this amazing organization!”

Nicolo’ Petrocchi, Lucca, Italy (P580)

Welcome to our new Contributing Photographer, Nicolo’ Petrocchi!

Nicolo’ comments, “As a high school student passionate about photography, I saw my passions for nature and photography embodied by the Healing Photo Art Foundation’s mission. Elaine and I personally met to discuss the possibility of me becoming a contributing photographer. Having submitted my photos, officially becoming a contributing photographer and presenting the foundation to my school was not the best part. My favorite thing is being overwhelmed with joy every time Elaine tells me about my pictures being requested and patients telling her how much they like my photos. This foundation is something different, unprecedented in its mission and obliging with the community, especially with those people in physical or mental agony who need to find relief and, what better way than to let them experience the beauty and colors of our Earth through their own eyes?”

Many thanks to Marco Alexander Rodriguez, our new Contributing Photographer, for his lovely photo!

Marco comments, “I had always wondered where the art in hospitals came from. After conducting some research, I discovered this foundation for Photos and art in Hospitals. I admired the foundation’s mission to give comfort and hope to patients, families, and caretakers. Photography is an activity I enjoy doing in my free time. I did not know that my pictures could help others until I stumbled across Ms. Elaine Poggi’s website, where I was able to become a contributing photographer and donate my image with ease. I am thankful to her and the foundation for giving me the opportunity to make my everyday hobby of taking pictures become so much more.”

Welcome to Sierra Sinclair Stanford, our new Contributing Photographer!

Sinclair comments, “Elaine’s story is beautiful, and this is an amazing organization. When I found the Healing Photo Art website, I admired their mission and was fascinated by the beautiful pictures in the galleries. I emailed Elaine inquiring on how to be a contributing photographer. Elaine responded quickly and within a week my photo was accepted into the Healing Photo Art gallery. I look forward to contributing more photos to and spreading the world about The Foundation for Photo Art in Hospitals!”

Many thanks to Sydney Tomes, our new Contributing Photographer, for her lovely photo!

Sydney comments, “I am so excited to have my art be a part of Healing Photo Art. I heard about Healing Photo Art through my public health class at the University of Minnesota Duluth. I have many friends and family that are currently in different hospitals in Minnesota and it has saddened me to hear about all of the white walls they see when they are stuck in the hospital. I love taking photos, and I am excited that I get to share one of my photos! I hope that my photo brings healing and happiness to patients!”

Many thanks to Sofia Del Fratte, our new Contributing Photographer!

Sofia comments, “I first learned about Healing Photo Art through my public health class at the University of Minnesota Duluth. My professor mentioned how wonderful the foundation is and how she is a contributing photographer. I wouldn’t call myself a professional photographer but I do love to take photos of the things around me! So when I sent a few to Elaine I was happy to hear that one of the photos was going to go on the website. I love how my photo is going to bring patients joy and happiness! I am so grateful to be a part of this awesome Foundation!”
