Healing through art

Jessica St. John, Natalie Vega, and Lori and Dr. Isaac Raijman enjoyed an evening at The Post Oak Hotel for The Arts of Healing gala. A record-breaking crowd of more than 500 gathered to support efforts to blend art and medicine with artwork created by local physicians, Drs. Brinda Chellappan, Meshann Fitzgerald, Terrance Wadley, Jean-Paul LeFave, Mark Dannenbaum, Dean Moore, Jose-Miguel Yamal, Lauren Langford, Isaac Raijman, Amita Bhalla, Brandon Goodwin, Ed Hirt, Anson Koshy, Dalia Moghazy, Shetal Amin, and Cindy Williams. “Art has proven beneficial in medical and clinical settings not only to patients, who experience greater healing, but also to the physicians and nurses,” says Arts of Healing executive director Kristen Collins. Proceeds from the evening will benefit a children’s summer art series taught by physicians, as well as a four-day summer camp experience from the Sunshine Kids Foundation.
