Casey would like to share an article,
published on Tuesday, August 19, 2014, in the Wall Street Journal about hospitals and art:
"More Hospitals Use the Healing Powers of Public Art: Hospitals are Giving
Artwork a Higher Priority" by Laura Landro.

Casey holds membership with two of the
reporting organizations cited: the Arts & Health Alliance, as well as the
Center for Healthy Design.
This is a rather timely article, as
Casey's popularity is growing in the healthcare industry for just this reason,
her natural elements and layering of color find themselves organically on
trend, according to the research noted: patients are positively affected by
nature themes…that convey a sense of security and safety. Casey describes her
art as offering contemplation, serenity, color and nature coming together in a
visual rest stop.
The article points out "Hospitals
aren't shying away from art whose content is open to interpretation or might
make patients reflect." Casey's artwork is found to be both appealing and
commanding. As Casey puts it, she intends her compositions "to encourage
reflection, introspection and exploration. They allow the viewer a space to
engage. It's just the viewer and the art in an intimate field of private
contemplation."
She has private collections in two
major medical facilities, held at both Fletcher Allen Health Care and at the Dartmouth
Hitchcock Medical Center.
Casey Blanchard's art can positively
affect an atmosphere in an inviting, colorful and powerful way, whether it is
in a medical facility, a hotel, or even a home.
