What an honor to be one of the artists whose art is featured at Inova in Fairfax, VA, on the 8th floor of the Stem Cell Transplant department. Lauren Heller, DC area art advisor, selected 6 of my paintings to be added to Inova's collection in accordance with their mission: to provide compassionate world-class care, partnering with our communities to keep everyone thriving.
I appreciate working with Lauren and am so grateful for what she says about my work: "I absolutely loved these original mixed media pieces by @radostbymartinasestakova the moment I saw them. Intricate pattern play combined with such visually stunning color combinations… just captivating. But when I learned that this collection is from the artist’s “Healing Garden” series, I knew it was meant to be. I selected 6 pieces from the series to display in a long hallway on the 8th floor of @inovahealth (the Stem Cell Transplant floor). These Healing Garden works explore “the emotional sanctuary that a garden provides - a space of joy, wonder, and safety.” What began as the artist’s reflection on a meaningful garden in her own life soon expanded “into lively conversations with family, friends, and neighbors about what gardens mean to them - transforming memory into shared connection and healing.” Is there a special garden in your life?"
