From trails to textiles: Artist’s resilience shines in UK HealthCare exhibit

Tuesday

Kris Grenier has a passion for backpacking, but in 2013, struggles with her health caused her to spend more time at UK HealthCare than on the trails. The time spent away from the outdoors showed her a newfound passion for artwork, and now Grenier has her own art exhibit at UK HealthCare to provide hope and brightness to those who walk the hospital halls.
