At Ease: Art and Nature for Veterans and the Military Community is a core initiative of Brushwood Center's mission. At Ease is an innovative series of nature and art based workshops that address the challenges faced by the Military Community, helping to support their sense of well-being.
This year, Brushwood's At Ease workshops have paid special attention to how sounds – both natural and human made – can be healing forces. Soothing and rejuvenating sounds such as calming music, the rustle of leaves or the chirping of birds can have a profound impact on our well-being, offering a sense of tranquility, solace, and healing.
In this companion exhibition to this year's At Ease theme, we explore this idea further with artwork that visually interprets and conveys artists’ personal experiences and emotional responses to healing sounds.
Participating Artists:
Lia Benjamin, Maura Carlisle, Patsy Delp, Greg DuBois, Jacqui Franclemont, Ines Gardea, Ty Hanyzewski, Laura Hedien, Marie Honeywell, Janice Ivaska, Barbara Kaplan, Hilton Mark Kaufman, Patrick Kerrigan, Steve Kost, Peter Leguizamon, Gloria Lopez, Jerry Loza, Andre Metoyer, Claudia Piemontese, Lawrence (Pie) Piemontese, Dante H. Plata, Ramona Pozek, Janet Schleeter, Evelyn Smith, Andre Sperling, Christopher Starnawski
Angela Walker, Kathy Wilson, Rick Wolchuk, Joshua Zoeller
With special thanks to those who participated in the Women Military Community Retreat Watercolor Marbling, and Luminary Ceramic Workshop
We recognize our At Ease Sponsors:
Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs: Veterans Cash Scratch-Off Lottery Grant | Mid-America Arts Alliance | National Endowment for the Arts’ Creative Forces | The Grainger Foundation | ComEd | Laughing Acres Family Foundation
