Because I spent too much time in dreary hospitals
Because the impact of art on health care is a proven fact
Because I love colour
Because I love art
Because I love making connections
Because I love supporting new talent
Because I care
Introducing Healing Art Works
My aim is to work worldwide, wherever there’s the occasion to do so, to brighten up hospitals and other health care institutions with art works by well-known international or local artists, or new talent. I connect with organisations and NGO’s to develop art projects that brighten up dreary healthcare and office spaces to make them more pleasurable to be in, for both patients and healthcare workers.
I deliberately work on a small scale in order to keep direct contact with all involved and answer as precisely as possible to the demands. Projects are in principle artist-led, but supported by me as coordinator and curator.
* Please note that we compensate the artists for their work and also charge a reasonable fee for our own work. Contact us if you want to be part of this exciting project!

Feedback from participating artists
Emerald Rose Whipple: “Thank you so much for your consideration, I love this concept and would be happy to participate. I would love to support this, with photos or paintings or prints. Really excited to help bring some light and love into these spaces!”
Jimi Dams: “As far as Healing Art Works is concerned, there is a great need for it here. If there is any art to be seen in healthcare, it is usually appalling poster art. So I would like to participate in your project. I have always supported your initiatives and will continue to do so. You have always been a breath of fresh air in a mostly old-fashioned art world. Just tell me what you need from me and I will follow up immediately.”
