"It has been an insightful process working with the people of CAMH over the last few years, and I am grateful to feel that my work will contribute to a community as well as to a care facility," says Tessa Shank, a CAMH commissioned artist living in Toronto and at her community at the Nipissing First Nation. "I know that the integrated therapeutic art throughout the new CAMH facilities will transform the way we approach healing, and I hope that the impact of using art as a vital tool will lead to a shift in the system and encourage more hospitals and care facilities to embrace art as part of the healing process. My intentions for the artwork I am creating for CAMH are to fill these spaces with a connection to nature, impart a feeling of optimism, and embody a hopeful spirit."
