Jeffrey Hanson's Legacy Blooms | Kansas City News

A vibrant new art installation, “Growing Kindness Poppy Garden,” blooms at the Overland Park Arboretum, honoring the late artist Jeffrey Hanson—a visionary whose bold, high-contrast poppy paintings defied his visual impairment caused by neurofibromatosis. Known for his striking orange-on-black style and deep philanthropy, Jeffrey donated his art to raise millions for charity, believing every act of kindness matters. This garden, created with his parents and the city, isn’t just a memorial—it’s a living celebration of his resilience, generosity, and enduring message: art and compassion can transform lives, long after you’re gone.
