Not Like This

So, I put the artwork up at the hospital today. Two pieces per board. Absolutely nothing like this. .

Less is More right??

Inspiration Wall 2

Going to check the mail again for more.

Jen Renninger

I am so blessed to have began correspondence with Jen Renninger, a talented artist and generous heart who is also coincidentally looking into work with the arts and healthcare. Her designs are so inpiring, I can't wait to see them up at the hospital. You can order some for yourself from her etsy shop, and make sure to check out her blog while you're at it.

More Thanks

to Michelle Yap for donating some beautiful photography to UAMS.

Tomorrow those bottom 2 bad boys will be on their way to our little floor at the hospital. I am so excited! Thank you hijirik so much for your generous donation.

Another thank you goes out to Brooklyn photographer Mina, who also just signed up to contribute beauties for UAMS. I love how the scene of Nikolaos, Greece in the center almost looks like a tiny set. Her work has a handprinted, aged quality that I love, but the colors are still bright and fresh. I look forward to seeing them pop off the wall in that beige ward!

Sycamore Street Press

Thanks a Ba-zillion to Kirk and Eva at Sycamore Street Press, for agreeing to donate some fabulous hand letterpressed cards for my project at the hospital. You can see in the details above the quality and texture digital printing just can't replace. Not only are they talented, SSP has been utilizing sustainable practices in their studio like soy based inks on either 'tree free' cotton paper or 100% recycled. Plus their vintage hand letterpress doesn't use any electricity. High Five from greenbean!

Inspiration Boards

So tonight I started emailing artists from etsy in hopes they will donate photography for the blank cork boards on 7C- the chemo floor at UAMS. I got one positive reply already, so I'm stoked! My goal is to assemble a different one for each of the 11 rooms- to cheer up the patients and give them something to look at while they are sitting in there getting chemo, or waiting on test results, which is the other 70% of what goes on. It will also give me something productive and positive to work on while I am here in Little Rock. Wish me luck! Ill let you know how they turn out.
