The Splash Team

Splashes of Hope is a family-run organization!
Heather Buggee created Splashes of Hope with a vision to uplift the hospital environment, inspired by an experience with a hospitalized friend to have the medical environment more conducive to the healing process. Heather is the Founder and CEO (meaning Creative Endeavors Only) of Splashes of Hope. Heather is also the Master Mural Artist at Splashes - one can visually see her passion and creativity through each and every mural project. As she says after every project, 'this is the best one yet!'
Sarah grew up in the art studios carrying buckets of water up and down the stairs and cleaning up messes (just like a Samurai's apprentice), and eventually began painting Splash murals. Sarah started a Splash Chapter in California and eventually came back to New York to work on the various on-going projects. Five years later, she is now the Executive Director. Although Sarah has 'suited up' for the job and has since left the art studio, she finds creativity in collaboration with the Splash Team, and expanding on new ideas and programs.
Jimmy Knapp is an ambassador and a driving force with everything Splashes: from projects, events, and teams, among the many other categories. Jimmy is a superstar in the Splash World, always on the move and one step ahead in every way. He has also driven all across the country in the Splashmobile for Splash projects.
Heather and Jimmy are Sarah's parents: one big Splashtastic family!
