press release: “The inspiration for my LandEscape painting series came from an experience I had while working as an Artist in Residence on the oncology floor at Women’s & Children’s Hospital of Buffalo. It was a sunny spring morning when I walked into a young patient’s room and said, ‘What a beautiful day it is outside.’ The patient looked up at me from bed and said ‘It always looks the same from here.’ That comment sparked an idea and started me on my mission to change medical environments and give every patient a room with a view. The series depict views of sunny landscapes. They include roads and paths to draw the viewer in, and the canvas is collaged with positive messages and words of encouragement.”
