Gifts of
Art
The University of Michigan Health
Systems really walks the talk when it comes to the power of art to enlighten
the healing process. I am pleased to be a part of the “Gifts of Art” exhibit
being held now until June 10th, at The University Hospital in Ann Arbor,
Michigan. The Gifts of Art brings the world of art and music to patients,
visitors and staff at the University of Michigan Health System. One of the
first of its kind nationwide, this comprehensive program has been developed to
enhance the Health System’s commitment to providing an enriching and comforting
environment to assist the healing process. If you happen to be in Ann Harbor,
Michigan please take a moment to view my artwork, “Behind the Veil”, UH main
corridor Floor 2.
Casey Blanchard is a
monoprint and mixed media artist living in Vermont. During her travels,
Blanchard considers no found object too grand or insignificant for expression
in the printing medium. She finds the process of monoprinting to be engaging,
fluid, unpredictable and fun. It is the mysteries behind the frayed veil, the
torn edge and the unspoken word that intrigue her. Blanchard hopes to wake up
the viewer’s perception, encouraging in them reflection, exploration and a
connection to meaning. She uses organic materials in her artwork to help draw
people to their natural, healthy and whole state. Blanchard has been involved
in arts in healthcare both nationally and internationally. Online gallery here.
