Wendy Parker of the Healing Art Gallery Committee says, “the art gallery creates a portal that connects people to emotions, and has the power to transport its audience to places and emotions that the viewer may not be able to physically or emotionally access”. Feeling these emotions is the mission of this gallery and a part of the healing the gallery provides.”
