<span style="font-size: small;">Creating Artful Spaces (Part 2)</span></h2>
<h3 class="ts-h5 title-less" style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A Three Part Series Dedicated to Patient Care</span></h3>
<div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 2.4rem; margin-top: 2.4rem;">
The simple sight of custom art inspires imagination, elevates mood and triggers emotions capable of improving a person’s physical state. How we experience art is changing, and healthcare is part of the trend. For centuries art has enhanced our lives, providing a sanctuary for the most vulnerable. It is no longer an after-thought, art has become a part of how medical experiences are interpreted, making it essential in patient satisfaction and recovery.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 2.4rem; margin-top: 2.4rem;">
Sparrow Health System’s new <a href="http://www.sparrowcancer.org/herbert-herman-cancer-center/" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #925d2b;" target="_blank">Herbert-Herman Cancer Center</a>project seamlessly incorporated one-of-a-kind art installations throughout their facility to positively influence the experience of both patients and caregivers. Each piece was thoughtfully curated and designed by one of 12 artists from across Michigan. Finally, they were carefully installed to provide respite for everyone who enters the building.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 2.4rem; margin-top: 2.4rem;">
<strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">Making the First Impression</strong><br />
Balancing the physical needs of the cancer center’s construction with consideration for the patient’s emotional and mental needs required forward-thinking practices and teamwork across many departments. One of the main considerations was the entrance to the facility and the initial first impression for patients and their families.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 2.4rem; margin-top: 2.4rem;">
Upon entering the center’s sliding glass doors, your eye is immediately drawn upwards. The main lobby’s ceiling is accentuated by the installation of a complex, multi-piece glass display that integrated with fire-suppression and key support structures. The Christman Company collaborated with the artist, subcontractors and facility maintenance crews to balance critical structures with aesthetics and human experience.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 2.4rem; margin-top: 2.4rem;">
<strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">A Natural Influence</strong><br />
Studies have supported that visual arts can reduce stress, improve the patients’ waiting experience and increase social interactions. Moreover, art displays that reflect nature are of particular importance in a healthcare setting. When observing nature-related art specifically, a significant reduction in restlessness, noise level and people staring aimlessly in the waiting room has been shown.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 2.4rem; margin-top: 2.4rem;">
Most of the art adorning the common spaces of the Herbert-Herman Cancer Center emulate nature, including the reflective green tile display off the main lobby. When designing this Pewabic tile wall installation, artist Mario Lopez created a radial pattern to imitate the shape and feel of the sun. The tiles were meticulously pieced together on-site during construction to fully capture the artist’s desired outcome.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 2.4rem; margin-top: 2.4rem;">
<strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">Patient Involvement</strong><br />
In addition to art surrounding a patient during their treatment, supporting patient participation in the creation of art can have a positive impact on their well-being. Lansing-based artist, <a href="http://www.katecosgrove.com/" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #925d2b;" target="_blank">Kate Cosgrove</a>, did just that for the creation of her paper cut illustration. Patients were brought together during a Survivor Day event where they were able to paint water color messages or names on long scrolls of white paper. Cosgrove took their words home and ornately cut them into birds that decorate the top of Cosgrove’s finished piece.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 2.4rem; margin-top: 2.4rem;">
“I was trusted with their stories and loved ones' names. When I took these words home to cut them into the birds, they felt very precious and it was an incredibly moving experience,” Cosgrove explained. “Spending time with the caregivers, families and survivors has left a mark on my heart and I still think about them often. It was an honor to work on this art piece.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 2.4rem; margin-top: 2.4rem;">
The interactive aspect of patients creating something together has proven to reduce anxiety levels and the sheer enjoyment that participants gain from art is a powerful psychological force that helps facilitate healing.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 2.4rem; margin-top: 2.4rem;">

My spring #KidLit school visit calendar is starting to fill.<br />
<br />
So lets book a book-date for your school or library. I would love to share my stories and drawings with the kids in your school district!<br />

I am so honored to be a 2019 Chris Clark Fellowship recipient.<br />
<br />
This funding has helped me complete some desperately needed technology upgrades that have been rotting on my back burner for far too long...<br />
<br />
I feel all shiny and new and no longer have to go make a sandwich to pass the time while I wait for an illustration file to save.<br />
<br />
Thanks Arts Council!<br />

I worked with about twenty cuties at the Downtown Library in Lansing, MI. I LOVE <a href="https://www.cadl.org/"><b>CADL</b></a>! We talked a little about how I became an illustrator and how a book gets made. I read <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/and-the-bullfrogs-sing-david-l-harrison/1129914626?ean=9780823438341"><b>And The Bullfrogs Sing</b></a> and <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-purple-pussycat-margaret-hillert/1124408442?ean=9781599538037"><b>The Purple Pussycat</b></a>. After simple frog-drawing demo the kids made their own singing bullfrog art to take home! #KidLit <br />

No one is more surprised than I as to how much I am enjoying these #Kidlit visits!<br />

<div>
Armed with a new Powerpoint and clicker, trying out all kinds of arty projects, practicing my story reading and just connecting with the bright-eyed little ones over creative nonsense has been a blast!</div>

I am so grateful for the scholarship I earned to attend Highlights Foundation "Crafting School Visits" program in 2018, as I am leaning on those skills pretty hard this month. I honestly do not think I would've conquered my public speaking fears without them. But not only am I battling those butterflies, I'm truly loving these moments with all the wonderful kids I have been so fortunate to meet.</div>
