Art has the power to connect generations.
Fueled by personal experience, Stephanie Tao-Husan Chang is an artist with a passion for portraits which she has used to create “Portrait Connection Program.” Her students are paired with nursing home residents to create not only a portrait, but a meaningful connection as well. The program explores the impact a simple act of kindness can have on our older, more vulnerable generations.
This project was created by Abigail Olear. She is a third year journalism student at the University of Maryland where she is studying cinematography and documentary filmmaking.
