A Teen Helping Teens
Raendrop Art is utilizing art to create a sense of stability and community for teens in the hospital. Raendrop Art was developed by Addy Flint, a thirteen year old with chronic illness and a passion for art. She understands the hospital can be an isolating, boring place to spend extended amounts of time. She hopes to provide inspiration, joy and hope to teen patients who are undergoing medical treatment. Addy believes patients should be able to access interesting, age-appropriate art even when a patient is not in Art Therapy. Raendrop Art will provide patients with boxes of project-focused art supplies in conjunction with artist-led classes.
Addy is a student, a multi-media artist, a dog lover and a two-time cancer survivor. But her creativity and passion for art is what defines her. Addy has won art contests at the city and state level and placed third in the Reflections Contest National Art contest across various media. Her current passions are anime and alcohol brush markers.
Raendrop Art is creating a password-protected website populated with videos of local artists creating specific projects. Teens 13-18 years old will be able to request a specific project box with the supplies needed from the hospital staff and can create the project by following the videos.
Yes, we realize Raendrop Art is spelled a bit oddly. Addy’s talent for art was passed down to her from her grandmother, Susann Rae. Addy named her organization- RAEndrop Art - in her honor. Sue passed away in 2020 after an isolated stay in a physical rehab facility during the COVID Pandemic. Witnessing this tragedy solidified Addy’s drive to create a community for those undergoing treatment creating connection, community, hope and joy.
