I have worked as a Creative Arts Therapist in a hospital setting for 20 years. I'm aware of the importance of artwork in providing a soothing environment for patients.
In my experience, most of the artwork chosen is prints of paintings depicting nature through landscapes or seascapes. But, so many of these prints are one dimensional and easily passed by. They fill the wall space but not the mind and heart space.
Marlow Shami creates artwork that is beautiful and interesting weaving the themes of nature, color, and curiosity into a collection that asks you to pause and look. She uses vibrant yet soothing color bursts in intricate scenes of nature that capture one's interest to mindfully engage in looking, finding, and appreciating. It's not something you can pass by.
People in hospitals are often anxious, and having art that is engaging is an opportunity to take the patients' minds off of their anxiety and instead, relax through exploring beautiful and interesting art.
