ARCTIC RING OF LIFE @ BEAUMONT
THE CHILDREN'S MIRACLE NETWORK TURNED A VERY PLAIN ROOM INTO A VISION INSPIRED BY THE DETROIT ZOO. THE DETROIT ZOO (ARCTIC RING OF LIFE) WAS VERY KIND TO ALLOW BEAUMONT HOSPITAL TO USE IT'S LOGO IN THE DESIGN OF THE NEW WAITING ROOM FOR THE PEDIATRIC FLUOROSCOPY UNIT.
IT'S AMAZING TO ME TO BE BACK AT BEAUMONT HOSPITAL AS AN ARTIST. GROWING UP IN BIRMINGHAM, I WAS A FREQUENT PATIENT IN THE ER. I WAS A "TOM BOY" WHO ENDED UP FLYING OVER MY STING RAY HANDLE BARS LANDING ON MY FACE. I HAVE HAD STITCHES AND 2 BROKEN ARMS, ALL TREATED AT ROYAL OAK BEAUMONT HOSPITAL. I'M HUMBLED BY THE HONOR TO CREATE A MORE BEAUTIFUL SPACE. A SPACE THAT IS HEALING AND SERENE. "I PRAY MY ART CAN COMFORT AND BRIGHTEN THE DAY OF A CHILD IN THE HOSPITAL, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN WHO ARE HAVING SUCH INVASIVE TESTING, THE MOST VULNERABLE." IT IS FULL CIRCLE FOR ME!
MY RING OF LIFE!
