Hello Hope,
It was a pleasure speaking with you about a donation of my fine art photographs to the Department of OB-GYN at CUMC.

Here is the link to my website (www.harryagressphotography.com) which is divided into two separate collections: 

Nature and Wellness Collection (created for Healthcare Facility Interior Design and listed by subject) and

Global Collections (listed by country). Just click on the blue titles above to view further.

Also please find, below, some examples of my photography at various installations, along with my Artist’s Healthcare and Art Statement.

Thank you for your interest and I look forward to working with you on this project.

With warm regards,

Harry

Artist’s Healthcare and Art Statement

Art in the workplace can have a significant emotional impact not only on staff, but, also their customers, clients or in the case of healthcare, patients. It creates a calming, restorative and often inspiring environment.

Art allows the mind to expand beyond the workplace, taking you on a journey that may enhance imagination and creativity. As a physician and photographer, I feel that art can also have a major healing and soothing effect on patients and staff, providing a positive atmosphere of comfort and hope.

Healthcare visits can frequently trigger feelings of anxiety and art can have an extremely positive effect, creating a soothing environment of beauty, color, fun and often distraction. This collection includes a section, "For Kids," which was created as a focal point for a child's unique imagination to take them to other worlds, to foster discussion and stimulate curiosity.
