Artful Signage for Magee
Meet Dr. James George, a distinguished ER doc, who spent 6 months at Magee recovering from a brain and spinal cord injury. During this period, he developed a new profession. He is now a prolific professional artist.
Through his work with Magee’s Art Therapy team, Dr. George developed a painting technique using his non-dominant arm. His paintings seem to embody the spirit of Magee’s mission! His works are now installed all over the hospital, with a strong grouping shown in the lobby.
Dr. George is a member of the Magee Advisory Council, a fundraiser, a donor, and a Trustee of the Foundation Board.
We were commissioned to create the signage to name the lobby. The 8″ high by 3/4″ deep ceramic tile letters are glazed to mimic the strong gesture and bright color of Dr. George’s painting style.
“I have been working with Karen for over 10 years on multiple projects, and she has helped us raise the profile of donor recognition at our hospital. Her creative ideas have been great and her artistic talents have made donor recognition something people ask about. It’s nice to see people stopping to read the plaques on the walls instead of just walking by them.” – Mark Chilutti, Assistant VP, Development
