We are sometimes surprised to learn that our colleagues have such talents, since we know them first as dedicated, hardworking and professional caregivers. We are not surprised, however, by the expressions of compassion and humanity evident in their paintings, drawings, photographs and sculptures, as these are the forces that join us all together at Harborview, inspiring us every day. “
Peggy Weiss, art program manager for Harborview, mentioned that her colleagues are asked to write briefly about their experience as artists, and what inspires them creatively.
