This week Alamance Regional Medical Center opened their new 40,000 square-foot cancer center. This two-story center has been designed to provide the optimal healing environment for patients. Features of the facility include an abundance of natural light, a welcoming atrium, a boutique for cancer patients, a family lounge area with internet access, and a café that offers coffee and smoothies. The center also includes a family resource center and space for community education and support groups. Come Spring, adjacent green space outside the new center will provide a walking area and healing garden in a courtyard setting.
Working with the Cancer Center staff, the Alamance Arts Council selected a body of local art that was purchased for the facility. Funding for this project was provided through generous private donations.
Artists selected for the project include David Nance, Jude Lobe, Ali Givens, Pat Scheible, Steven Durland, Laine Francis, Tracey Huley, Linda Holch Gordon, and others - including me.
I created three special edition pieces specifically for the permanent collection. The frst two shown here are 30" by 45" gallery wrapped canvases installed in the Resource Center Family Lounge located off the lobby area. The third piece is a 30" by 64" craddled board triptych canvas installed in a hallway of the exam room complex. All three of these images were captured last Fall and are from the southern part of Alamance County.

It's satisfying to know that my work may be of comfort to patients and their families. Thanks to ARMC and the Arts Council for including me in this project!
