Hello Jill,
A little background:

I was introduced to Phelps Hospital through Ken Taber and Bud Zimmerman, MD. I am a radiologist who has had a life long passion for photography. I am now most interested in donating my fine art photographs to healthcare facilities. I feel that art in a medical environment can have a significant positive emotional impact on patients, their families and staff by creating a comforting, uplifting and restorative atmosphere.

I invite you to take a look at my recently updated website which is divided into two separate collections: Nature and Wellness Collection which was created specifically for Healthcare Facility Interior Design and listed by subject and Global Collections which are listed by country and are somewhat more esoteric, Just click on either collection above to view further.

My most recent Global additions include Florence and Tuscany, Moab (Utah), New York City, Spain, Portugal and Northern Italy. You can go directly to these collections by just clicking on any of the blue titles.

There are quite a few options, both in terms of photographs and layouts, such as triptychs, clusters, etc (click here to see examples of Triptych/Composites Series Collection).

Please find, below, my Artist’s Healthcare and Art Statement and a brief description of my News and Events.

I look forward to further discussing placement of my works at Phelps Hospital/Northwell Health.

Best regards,

Harry

Artist’s Healthcare and Art Statement

Art in healthcare facilities can have a significant positive emotional impact on patients, their families and staff. It creates a calming, restorative and often inspiring environment.

Art allows the mind to expand beyond one’s personal health situation, As a physician and photographer, I feel that art can also have a major healing and soothing effect on patients and staff, providing a positive atmosphere of comfort and hope.

Healthcare visits can frequently trigger feelings of anxiety and art can have an extremely positive effect, creating a soothing environment of beauty, color, fun and often distraction. This collection includes a section, "For Kids," which was created as a focal point for a child's unique imagination to take them to other worlds, to foster discussion and stimulate curiosity.
