Art with a Heart in Healthcare provides personalized fine art experiences that enhance the healing process
for patients and their families.
Wheelchair Makeover
What makes a simple wheelchair customized? A group of Art with a Heart artists! Sometimes we get an out-of-the ordinary request from a patient so we work our magic to make it happen!
UNF Intern Displays Unique Teaching Approach
Our UNF intern, Edmarie Hernandez, devised an easy step by step drawing method to ease the frustration for a 6 year old patient who loves drawing realistic trucks. The results were hugely successful!
