--About the Art--
This exhibition will travel from hospital to hospital with the purpose of encouraging patients, their caregivers & families with the visual messages of hope & healing. The art is currently being exhibited at Mercy Hospital in Nampa, Idaho. The work will be exhibited for as long as each hospital wishes without cost to the hospital. The work will be hung and taken down either by myself or experienced volunteers helping with the exhibition. Purchasing of pieces will be overseen by me (or a local volunteer if necessary) through personal contact with potential buyers, with funds that will be exclutsively directed toward the creation of new pieces and future travel of the exhibition.
--Giving the message of hope & healing--
I would like to give handmade dolls of varying ethnicities to hospitalized children who will be able to paint and personalize each doll, bringing them hope & giving them something fun to do during recovery. We would also like to provide art and pillows with various illustrations which can be painted for older pediatric patients. (The illustrations are from original pieces of art creating an overview of the traveling exhibition & include encouraging descriptions of the art with messages of hope & healing).
