Beautiful. Interactive. Sophisticated. Stimulating. Durable. Cleanable. Customizable. All these words describe my “beautifully therapeutic” artwork. They're ideal for designers and others who value evidence-based design in health care settings, especially memory care, dementia, Alzheimer’s, senior living, and similar settings.

OTHER INTERCTIVE ART (custom, large scale)

‘Beautifully therapeutic’ fine art cultivates consecrated pleasure to bring healing, wholeness, and true human flourishing. It can do this through visual and other sensory experiences, like physical touch and interaction. In fact, fine art that stimulates a wide variety of sensory experiences has the potential to be extraordinarily ‘beautifully therapeutic.’

2024 Environments for Aging Expo + Conference

I was honored that DAC Art Consulting showcased my interactive sculpture “Wandering Waves” at the April, 2024 Environments for Aging Expo + Conference in Atlanta. Together, we met the event’s goal to “offer the latest strategies and ideas for creating functional and attractive living environments that meet the needs of our aging population. During this three-day learning experience, attendees will network with peers while learning the latest innovations and best practices in senior-friendly design for long-term and residential care settings.”
