‘Art and Healing’, The Mosesian Center for the Arts, Watertown, MA

I’m pleased to share that my work was selected for the Art and Healing Exhibition at the Mosesian Center for the Arts. This body of work emerged from lived experience — navigating illness, resilience, and the complicated relationship between the body and care. To see it included in an exhibition centered on healing feels deeply affirming — the kind of context I imagined for this work from the beginning

It’s part of an event series: two events in this multi-venue collaboration between @mosesianarts and @newartcenter 

Thursday, March 26, 5:30–7:30 PM
Art and Healing: Exhibition
Mosesian Center for the Arts, 321 Arsenal Street, Watertown, MA
On view through May 1

Art and Healing explores the transformative and restorative potential of creative practice. While art is not medicine, it can foster healing through inspiration, reflection, and expression. The act of making can be calming and meditative, offering space to process emotion, navigate trauma or illness, mark upheaval, and celebrate joy and triumph. Art gives form to what can be difficult to articulate, communicating across boundaries of language and experience while harnessing the resilience within us all. Creativity encourages a positive outlook and provides a meaningful pause from daily routine.
Featuring works in painting, printmaking, drawing, illustration, photography, sculpture, mixed media, and more, the exhibition highlights a wide range of artistic approaches – from representational to conceptual – that engage with art as meditation and as a celebration of its enduring, restorative power.

The Energetic Heart series explores the healing power of emotional connection. It is inspired by the concept of heart coherence—a harmonious state in which the rhythms of the heart, mind, and body align. Scientific research describes this alignment as generating an energetic field that radiates outward, extending up to three feet beyond the body and softly uplifting the surrounding atmosphere and those nearby—what many call a “vibe.” Each piece arises from my lived experiences with medical challenges and becomes a playful meditation on this unseen, deeply felt energy, understood as a kind of magical force.
