A ‘WELCOMING’ new mural by a Coventry artist has been unveiled at a local hospice.
Artist Katie O has created the mural, which depicts a tranquil woodland scene featuring native wildlife and natural landscapes, at Coventry Myton Hospice’s Inpatient Unit.
The mural was designed to bring a sense of calm, comfort and colour to the space for patients, families and staff.
Katie said: “It was wonderful to work with Myton, bringing colour to the walls and a sense of nature indoors.
“I’m passionate about using art to connect with people and creating spaces that feel harmonious, calm and peaceful. I believe deeply in the importance of our connection to nature, and I was incredibly grateful to have contributed to such a special place.”
Sue Medlock, Ward Manager at Coventry Myton Hospice, said staff were incredibly grateful to Katie for sharing her talents.
She added: “The mural brought comfort and moments of joy to patients, families and visitors during difficult times.
“At Myton, we strive to create an environment that is as calm and supportive as possible, and artwork such as this played an important role in enhancing the wellbeing of everyone who spent time here.
“Katie’s work truly transformed the space into something even more welcoming.”
