Mary Stafford, Contributing Photographer

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.”
