About Helen Kagan
Helen Kagan, PhD, a holistic therapist and artist and creator of her unique concept, HealingArts™, believes that ART is a catalyst for healing individuals, society and the environment. Growing up in what then was the USSR—a Communist state where oppression and control were a daily reality—formed her beliefs, values, and a great respect for freedom to express yourself. In 1991, a quest for freedom led her to the US, where she brought a Jewish heritage, a PhD in Science, a Master's in Psychology, and an unending thirst to explore life's meaning.
Following her quest, Helen studied many healing modalities, and equipped with another Master's in Clinical Social Work, she's been "walking the walk, integrating a mind-body-spirit philosophy into her personal and professional life (see also www.NYhealing.com).
Living in VT, WI, MN, NJ, NY and now in Florida, she's spent much of her life in the USA as a holistic therapist, social worker, and now a healing artist.
Primarily self-taught, Helen's been painting for as long as she remembers; since 2005, she has done it professionally.
She works mainly with oils and acrylics, experimenting with mixed media. She paints with pure boldness and emotion, always looking for ways to communicate on levels often not yet understood... While reflecting her own colorful and deep perception of life and a desire to bridge the realities and heal the past, she believes her artwork can bring well-being and enhance the healing process for those in need.
In the last few years, Helen participated in over 50 curated shows and local, national and international exhibitions. She was named a "collectible artist" by Brickell and Key Biscayne Magazines (2016), “Inspiration” International Catalog (2017), ArtTour International Magazine and the “Top 60” Masters Award (2017-20). Her “HealingArts” won awards and was shown in many physical and online galleries, cities, states, magazines, and catalogs, including FL Design Magazine, FineArt NY Magazine, VT Art Directory, BLINK Art Resource, major art fairs including SPECTRUM ArtBasel Miami, Art SunDiego, ArtEXPO NY, and ArtPalmBeach, and always elicited a deep, profound positive response. Dr. Kagan believes in the healing power of art and that her HealingArts™ as a holistic vehicle can enhance healing and well-being.
Helen believes in the mind-body-spirit connection. She believes that now more than ever, the world needs positive energy and spiritually-based intentions, beliefs and values. These beliefs encompass her dream she's been following all these years—a dream of developing healing arts centers to reach people from different cultures, races and ethnic backgrounds and fill them up with healing art. She believes her vibrant, passionate art can make a difference in people’s lives.
