The Art of Healing

Healing is a deeply personal journey—one shaped by resilience, reflection, and the quiet moments that restore us. In The Art of Healing, fiber artist Christine Hager-Braun and jeweler Lucinda Brogden explore these themes through two distinct artistic voices united by a common purpose: celebrating the strength of the human spirit.

Christine Hager-Braun transforms layers of hand-dyed and painted fabrics into luminous quilted landscapes that have evolved from representations of the natural world into expressions of the light within us. Inspired by personal loss, healing, and the resilience required to navigate life's challenges, her richly textured works invite contemplation while encouraging hope, empathy, and emotional well-being.

Lucinda Brogden approaches healing through the language of form, balance, and color. Her contemporary jewelry combines bold geometric shapes with gold, silver, texture, and inlay to create striking yet refined wearable sculptures. Each piece reflects the harmony found in complexity, reminding us that strength and beauty often emerge from the careful relationship between contrasting elements.

Together, these artists offer complementary perspectives on healing—one rooted in emotional resilience and inner light, the other in balance, structure, and thoughtful design. The Art of Healing celebrates the many ways art can comfort, inspire, and reconnect us with ourselves and one another.
