Today, we celebrate all the amazing doctors who treat and care for our Young Artists! Happy National Doctors Day!

“My artwork is about the future colors and how these tiny colors can impact the future. Pastel colors really, to me, bring out nature. I like doing art because I can do whatever I want and no one will judge me.” – Emily from Hospital For Special Surgery #ArtWorksDaily 

 “I made my art in the playroom with syringes.  I sucked up the paint and I squirted it on the canvas. This painting makes me happy because I love art and colors!” -Daniela from NYU Hassenfeld.  #ArtWorksDaily 

Sachi from Hackensack University Hospital wrote, “This is about a butterfly that likes bright colors. It throws my feelings into it which makes me feel good!” #ArtWorksDaily

Jade from New York Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital told ArtWorks, “I love to draw and make things and I never did art like this before!” #ArtWorksDaily

Check out the Children’s Hospital Colorado singing and dancing their way through #ChildLifeMonth!

“Banjo is a therapy dog that visits patients in the hospital. He made me smile when I was very sad, due to my consistent seizures. Knowing that a dog can visit you, sit on your bed, and make you smile, makes your stay at the hospital more pleasant.” Happy #NationalPuppyDay! #ArtWorksDaily 

Last week, ArtWorks visited and toured our partner hospital, Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital at Westchester Medical Center! Pictured above is Gabrielle Grimaldi Bellettieri, Creative Arts Therapist in front of their beautiful lobby’s mural!

Today’s #ArtWorksDaily highlights Keila who shares, “Art lets me express how I feel because it doesn’t have to be perfect, it just lets you do whatever you feel.”
