SUMMARY:Mind\, Body and Color: Orlando Health Arts in Medicine Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Mind\, Body and Color\n\nFor 30 years\, artists have connected with Orlando Health cancer patients through the Arts in Medicine program. Whether writing\, dancing\, or painting\, patients take their minds off treatment and focus simply on creating. For many\, this reconnects them with who they are—not simply a patient\, but a person.\n\nSince 2013\, the Arts in Medicine program has hosted an annual exhibition at City Arts Gallery\, celebrating the creative works of patients at the Orlando Health Cancer Institute.\n\nThis year’s theme\, “Mind\, Body and Color” celebrates how creativity provides a wholistic approach to wellness. Each piece offers a glimpse into how patients use art to transform their personal challenges into expressions of wholeness\, vitality\, and the world they aspire to see.\n\nFrom May 21 through June 13\, this inspiring exhibition will feature over 50 works created by cancer patients and their loved ones. Join us at City Arts Gallery to experience the healing power of creativity and honor those on their journey to wellness.\n

SUMMARY:"State Flower Ladies" Exhibition by June Bunch Opens in the CityArts Café on June 18\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:For State Flower Ladies\, June Bunch transforms 50 state flowers into botanical ballerinas. Her illustrations combine figure drawing with floral theatrics\, adding elements of vibrant colors and texture-rich embroidery to her work. In an instant\, her images stretch the viewer’s eye past the present to see the blossom’s full-seasonal vitality\, summarized in one frozen motion.\n\nBunch curates contemporary illustrations by studying plants’ “choreography” of growth\, illuminating their dance with vibrant colors and clean lines. Her visual art remains rooted in botany and ballet\, featuring postures that hold emotional richness\, highlighting human nature and flora in a bold\, empowering way.\n\nThe art is created first through expressive figure drawings and botanical sketches that are then translated digitally and drawn line-by-line with a pen-tool\, tending to each marking with thoughtful detail.\n\nTo dive into the story behind each illustration\, you can visit https://www.junebunch.com/illustration\n\n\nAbout the artist:\n June Bunch (@junebunchstudio) is a self-taught illustrator from St. Petersburg\, FL. Her art focuses on natural growth\, interpreting plants’ movement through human body language. She studied botany and illustrated for plant nurseries before moving to Juneau\, AK  as a naturalist guide. There\, June grew inspired by the “choreography” of the natural world around her and humanized it\, incorporating figure drawing paired with a love of dance.\n\n\nHer work has won an honorable mention at the Morean Arts Center and has been on display at the Imagine Museum\, Dunedin Fine Arts Center\, Five Deuces Galleria\, Art@400\, The Werk Gallery\, and the Gulf Coast Arts Alliance Gallery. She has recently been awarded a micro-grant from the Gobioff Foundation which sponsored a portion of the State Flower Ladies exhibition.
