Who We Are

Our interactive work focuses on community projects, advocacy work, and trauma care through art.

Our Story

One summer, when I traveled home with my four children, my dad convinced us to help him plant hundreds of seedlings. He had a passion for trees and loved involving others in his projects. Years later, as I began creating community-based artwork that invited people to explore their creativity through group projects, I realized how art helps individuals grow and flourish, just like my dad’s seedlings.

In 2016, I founded Healing in Arts, a nonprofit where my creative team and I continue to plant seeds of healing through collaborative art. Our donor-funded initiatives aim to demonstrate the value of every individual, reaching children with disabilities, teens affected by sex trafficking, veterans with PTSD, and refugees. These interactive projects build community and honor my dad’s legacy, planting something that grows beyond our work and inspires hope.

Open Hands

Open Hands is a workshop that encourages students to rethink their responsibilities as global citizens.
