"Converging Visions: The Intersection of Art and Healing" is dedicated to harnessing the transformative power of fine arts to expand perspectives on health and well-being. Our mission is to illuminate varied narratives, challenge conventional ideas of care, and inspire action by exploring the intersection of artistic expression and health advocacy. Through this initiative, we seek to celebrate creative voices, foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, and engage communities in meaningful dialogue—encouraging new ways of thinking about healing, access, and the human experience of wellness.
Featured Artists
Tasha Nicolé Burton
Tasha Nicolé Burton (b. 1981) is an emerging multidisciplinary artist living in St. Louis, MO. Burton is a self-taught photographer and visual artist who uses various mediums to interrogate, examine, and re-imagine social issues like race, mobility, access, and equality. Her psychosocial practice provides space for new discoveries that can lead society to work better together. She uses images and tangible objects to reveal how we utilize self-awareness to unlearn or course-correct our social interactions. Through dedicated research and a study of the human mind, her work prioritizes ease of understanding and aims to provide a viewer with an alternate perspective. By looking deeper, her practice's goal is to activate change by telling a story that challenges social conditioning. She hopes to generate an appreciation and respect for another person’s struggles, successes, livelihood, agency, and spirit. She has exhibited work with The Kranzberg Arts Foundation, The Griot Museum of Black History, and The Luminary. She is the recipient of The Puffin Foundation, Ltd. Grant, Shift Consulting LLC Mini-grant, and the Black Women Photographers x Nikon USA Grant.
