Operation Art to Heal Flag by Tim Kerley
OPERATION ART TO HEAL
Pacific Northwest Veteran Assistance Program is a 501c3 Nonprofit. Our mission is to support our veteran brothers and sisters who have served our country and are in emotional need.
Operation Art to Heal honors veterans with art created by veterans or family members of veterans.
Our project Operation Art to Heal focuses on art and healing for veterans. Our goal is to assist veterans to combat veteran suicide, to help veterans heal from PTSD, depression and anxiety from war and military sexual trauma.
Operation Art to Heal helps veterans heal by having monthly art events that include painting, drawing and arts and crafts. We have a safe place where veterans can talk to other veterans about their experiences.
We have quarterly art exhibits in the community to share the art that is created by veteran artists and family members to help them heal from trauma. These exhibits bring hundreds of veterans together from all over Washington State. We have partners that share their resources at the events to help veterans that are in need. We also have art exhibits 3 times a year for 2 months in different locations that exhibit the veteran art in community centers and city halls. By displaying the art to the public it gives the community an opportunity to see an outlet that veterans use to heal.

Isabella Rhee, "Italian Countryside"
Isabella Rhee
Artist Statement: The idea of these pieces is to create something familiar to everyone. I started the bridge in spring, hence all the green, and an Autumn path seemed appropriate for the fall weather. These are meant to capture the moment, and oil was my chosen medium for no other reason than that I wanted to try it out. I hope to continue season inspired painting in the future.
Biography: My name is Isabella Rhee and I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. I’m a 18 year old Senior in highschool and I’ve been doing art all my life, but this is my first time trying out oil paint. I enjoy and have done many types of art, but I’m always drawn to landscapes the most. The ability to express the feeling that my surroundings give me is something I strive to achieve, and oil paint is the newest way I’ve found to do that.
