The Healing of Art


  • Cove Gallery 37 Rocky Neck Avenue Gloucester, MA, 01930 (map)

Curated by Rebecca Ann Nagle

The Healing of Art is a thoughtfully curated show explores the four realms of healing—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—through a wide range of media including painting, sculpture, mixed media, and encaustic.

Featuring the work of Ryan Kelley, Judith Brassard Brown, Deborah Gonet, and curator Rebecca Ann Nagle, the exhibition highlights how the creative process itself becomes a path to healing. Working in solitude, each artist draws from the ego, mind, soul, and spirit, channeling personal and collective experiences into powerful visual expressions.

Their work responds to personal surroundings, global events, climate and landscape, and the social and political challenges that shape our lives and communities. Through making, they find a meditative, reparative space—a process that helps to reflect on, process, and heal from trauma or imbalance.

As viewers engage with the artwork, they are invited into this process—connecting to their own stories and struggles. The experience becomes not only personal but also collective: a shared space for empathy, reflection, and renewal.
