Testimonials
“We are so grateful to have been able to showcase Emory’s work in a gallery within our
Assisted Living Community. The beauty of the piece we purchased from the exhibit
serves as a reminder to residents and staff that, much like the water in the image, some
dips are soothing while others fill our lungs with water…. It can bring us back to
tranquility when we need it the most, remembering this too shall pass.”

“Outer Cape Health Services was fortunate enough to showcase the photography of Dr. Emory Petrack as part of its Healing Arts program. Dr. Petrack’s collection… adds a warmth and calmness to the walls of this healing space. Art helps soothe anxiety and transforms our minds and thoughts towards a positive and tranquil place. Emory’s beautiful coastal photography provided a focal point and enjoyable conversation piece for patients and staff.”

“The stunning nature scenes of Dr. Petrack’s photography is an unexpected site in our
busy urban emergency department. Each image offers all those who see them a sense
of serenity and hope and a brief escape from the uncertainty of their ER visit…. He has
transported this sterile area from a place of fear and tension to a place clearly more
beautiful, but more so to an area that feels more human and compassionate.”

"We’re delighted to have Emory’s images displayed as part of our Illuminations program
at Mass General Hospital. The calming beauty of his landscape photography aligns
perfectly with our goal of enhancing patient, visitor, and staff well-being through
thoughtfully curated artwork. Emory’s work helps transform our hospital environment
into a more serene and healing space."

“The Alzheimer’s Family Support Center is fortunate to have three of Emory’s
photographs hanging in the designated quiet room in our Alzheimer’s Community
Center at the Cape Cod Mall. As good art does, the photos serve multiple purposes:
First, they are beautiful. Second, they bring a deeply calming presence to the room. And
last, they are narrative enough to offer a path into conversation, which is especially
helpful in communicating with people living with dementia disease: connection is key to
helping bring people out of anxiety and into contentment, and conversation is the
ultimate connection. That is a very heavy lift for three deceptively simple photographs!
We could not be happier to have them.”
