By day, Dr. Amy Golden, DMD, of Voorhees, improves people’s smiles as a full-time dentist with her own practice in Berlin, NJ. In her free time, she enjoys nature photography and continues to help people smile by displaying her works. Golden, along with 11 other local photographers, are the featured artists at the Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice Inpatient Art Gallery at Virtua Memorial in Mount Holly. A portion of art sale proceeds will benefit Samaritan’s programs and services
Golden chaired the committee of South Jersey Camera Club (SJCC) members whose works will be on display at the Samaritan gallery until Oct. 31.
“I witnessed Samaritan’s extraordinary care during the terminal illnesses of my two close friends, Dr. Karen Knox and Susan Tannery. I am grateful for their wonderful support during a very difficult time for family and friends. I decided to chair this photographic exhibit to show my appreciation to Samaritan. The tender kindness of the hospice workers will always be remembered and helps to soften the sad memories of my friends’ last days” Golden said.
Her work on display is titled Pure Passion.
Other featured artists joined Golden to celebrate the gift hospice has provided their loved ones, to provide a calming atmosphere to patients and their guests at Samaritan’s Inpatient Hospice Center and to support Samaritan services by donating a portion of the sales to care for patients and families.
Local artists from the SJCC on display at the Samaritan Inpatient Hospice Center include:
A minimum of fifteen percent of the proceeds of exhibit sales will benefit Samaritan patients and families. The public is invited to view the exhibit seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
SJCC was organized to promote the art and science of photography. Among its goals is the desire to unite others in sharing similar interests, to exchange ideas and photographic expertise and to enhance the skills of club members.
The Samaritan Inpatient Hospice Center Gallery is located on the second floor of Virtua Memorial on 175 Madison Avenue, Mount Holly. For more information about the show or Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice services, please call 1–800–229–8183 or visit www.SamaritanHealthcareNJ.org.
