This mural was designed and painted for the Helen and Harry Gray Cancer Center at Hartford Hospital. It’s painted on the walls surrounding the two gardens outside the chemo treatment rooms and depicts a whimsical version of the four seasons.

I conceived of this project, designed it and painted it with Catherine Guillaud.

This is Phase 1, summer, fall, and winter. The second garden "Spring" was completed in Spring 2018
