As healthcare marketers, we thrive on making an impact on patients’ lives, but the fast-paced, compliance-heavy nature of our work can feel intense at times. That’s why we created our Artist in Residence program.
Each year, we select a new independent artist, provide them with a stipend, and refresh our brand’s aesthetic with their digital art scans. We believe it’s a beautiful win-win: the artist is compensated and can spend more time doing what they love, and we have access to beautiful art to bring our brand to life. (And we get to keep filling our clients’ walls with new art!)
H. Ward Miles (American b. 1981) is a contemporary painter based in Carmel, Indiana, whose work is shaped by her ability to connect to the human experience. Heavily influenced by traditional abstract expressionism, Miles’ paintings rely on less tangible forms of communication, evoking joy and sometimes sorrow through organic shapes, unexpected colors and translucent layers.
Her personal mark making and scribbled notes create a visual language that lets her audience in on her secrets and connects the past to the present, while tapping into a universal portrayal of what it means to be human.
