Photo Medicine: The Healing Power
On display: JAN 16 - Feb 28
Opening Reception: FEB 1, 2-4pm
Artist Talk: 2:30pm
All are welcome!
Free to attend.
Snacks provided.
Adapting to life with autoimmune diseases, including MS, Karen Pallister utilizes photography as medicine to promote healing with the everyday challenges she faces. The relationship established between her camera and subject matter enhances her mind-body connection, manifesting positively in dealing with illness.
Using photography as a coping mechanism has expanded her horizons and introduced a surprising interest in nature photography and outdoor activity. Documenting life's fleeting moments allows Karen to revisit these memories on more challenging days, acting as a healing power to reduce stress-related symptoms associated with autoimmune diseases.
In the instances when illnesses often make her world much smaller, photography broadens and fosters creativity encouraging interactions with the miracles of the outside world, even in her own backyard. Medicine indeed.
