A new wave of fine art has just arrived this week on the walls of Jefferson Healthcare Hospital, thanks to five local artists.
Even as construction continues around the facility, the nonprofit organization Northwind Art curates new installations of work.
The fresh influx of art can be seen in the main lobby and waiting rooms across various departments, including Lab Services, cardiology, orthopedics, diagnostic imaging and dermatology.
For the September to January installation, Northwind Exhibits Coordinator Jaiden Dokken and Gallery Administrator Kristen Gerrish brought in 38 paintings and photographs.
They include “Machu Picchu” by photographer Kathy Fridstein of Port Townsend, “Golden Hour” by gyotaku printmaker Cody Hagen, “Yellow Boat” by painter Linda Tilley of Port Townsend, the “Autumn Garden” collage by Kate Dwyer of Port Townsend, and “Forest Monarch” by photographer Harry Goldstrom of Sequim.
“This artwork is here to bring some beauty and solace to anyone who walks through the doors at Jefferson Healthcare,” Northwind spokesperson Diane Urbani said. “The gorgeous colors in Kate, Cody and Linda’s paintings and prints, along with Harry and Kathy’s crystal-clear photos of natural places, give us something beautiful to admire when in the lab waiting area, for example. The art is for patients, for staff and for visitors.”
The works on view at the hospital can also be seen online under Exhibits and Activities at NorthwindArt.org.
