Karyn Hunter, LICSW, a social worker at the VNA & Hospice of the Southwest Region, will exhibit her art at the Chaffee Art Center’s 61st Annual Summer Art in the Park Saturday, August 13, from 10 am – 6 pm, and Sunday, August 14, 10 am – 4 pm at Main Street Park at the Junction of Routes 4 & 7 in Rutland.Hunter’s artwork, inspired by her love of nature and exploration, is particularly drawn to sunrises and sunsets as symbolic of her work. “I like to think of sunsets as the sweetest farewells or gifts to our loved ones as we pass onto the next life and sunrises as new births or beginnings,” said Hunter. “I love the contrast of colors that come with both and allow for the use of vibrant colors.”

The VNA & Hospice of the Southwest Region is pleased to partner with Pajama Program, a national nonprofit organization that promotes and supports a comforting bedtime routine and healthy sleep to help children thrive. Pajama Program donated 110 sets of pajamas and age-appropriate books for children who receive nurse home visits in either Strong Families Vermont or Children’s Integrated Services.  Both of these programs are part of the agency’s Maternal Child Health division, which provides various services from prenatal education through early childhood.
