A MURAL CAN OPEN UP AN INTERIOR SPACE

in the case of the space at the left, a hospice conference room, the  window shown had been lost to adjacent construction, and with it, a wonderful view across New York Bay to the Verrazano Bridge....


so we restored the view pictorially.  The window that was removed and covered up was in the middle of the right-hand wall in the room pictured above, part of Staten Island University Hospital's Hospice Department.

MURAL IMAGERY CAN CREATE A HEALING ENVIRONMENT:

Each month, the Hospice staff covers the floor of their conference room with a huge cloth maze, which patients and guests can then walk through as part of a meditative exercise.  An oncology nurse, who had developed a complementary medical program for the hospital, called shortly after her group of recovering cancer patients saw the mural for the first time.  They had just arrived for their usual monthly maze-walk, an element of their self-healing regimen.  She reported that they were astonished at the room's transformation, and exclaimed, "We should have had this all along!"

They claimed that they felt physically better after being in the space, surrounded by the mural landscape.


  • THE ARTIST AND DESIGNER WILL PLAN A MURAL WITH YOU AFTER INTERVIEWING YOU IN DEPTH ABOUT YOUR IDEAS, YOUR AVAILABLE BUDGET, AND A THOROUGH SITE VISIT TO DETERMINE PLACEMENT, SCALE, MEDIUM AND THE KIND OF SURFACE PREPARATION THAT IS NECESSARY. 
  • MURALS CAN BE EXECUTED AND BUILT ON SITE; OR IN THE STUDIO AND THEN INSTALLED WITH PROFESSIONAL HELP.
  • THE DESIGNER WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH SCALE DRAWINGS AND COLOR PLANS, PLUS A MODEL SO THAT YOU CAN VISUALIZE HOW THE IMAGERY WILL FIT INTO YOUR SPACE

 murals can be designed to be removable on panels, screens or canvas that can be hung like wallpaper.  The mural is limited only by the imagination and craft of the designer, and the collaborative vision of the client who commissions it.
