Friendly, bright murals can enliven any hospital space—just ask my 3-year-old daughter. During her first two years, she had a considerable amount of surgery and casting to heal a club foot. The cast room at Carrie Tingley Hospital was a grim, institutional space, and we dreaded visiting it until I painted a mural of an undersea world on the walls and ceiling.

"It's just like going to the aquarium," she says now. This aquarium is different than any real one. The cast room mural places patients right inside a sea of playful creatures which roam the walls and ceiling. The cast room has been transformed, and the young patients find it's a much nicer place to be.

Inspired by my daughter, I've created "Hospital Murals" as an immediate and cost-effective way to make children's hospitals more patient-friendly. My murals have dramatically transformed hospital environments, and have brightened the mood of young patients, parents, and staff. These "Hospital Murals" can benefit your community in the same way.

When creating an individualized mural, I draw on more than 15 years of experience as a caricaturist, editorial cartoonist and humorous illustrator. All characters are original, and I'm happy to collaborate with staff when creating the themes and ideas of the mural. I've even slipped images of staff into these works, which is a big hit with the young patients - they love to try to find people they recognize among the other characters. Donors, staff, or others can be included in the mural in this way - it's entirely up to you.

Because of these murals, my daughter now enjoys her visits to the hospital, and this makes the process easier on all of us. Now, if I can just get her to stop drawing on our walls at home.
