Imagine a babbling brook at the end of a hallway, or wildflowers greeting patients and visitors in your lobby.
Nature and outdoor Photography is incomparable in producing pleasing, restful and enduring wall art. Mostly shot in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York, I believe in "Beauty and the East!"
I was at my doctors' office one day and found myself looking at what what was on their walls. Posters of our insides, diseases I could have, pain charts. It was disconcerting; completely wrong for patients who were already in a state of anxiety and discomfort.
The question for the healing professional to ask themselves is, "Do the images on my walls have a positive effect on the health and well-being of my patients?"
Studies supporting "Evidence-Based Design" (the purposeful design of buildings and renovations based on known information and expected outsomes) tell us that proper art can actually reduce blood pressure and anxiety in both adult and pediatric patients.
Hospitals, especially, are quickly moving toward inclusion of images of nature in support of patient recovery.
Nature images have profound and positive effects on patients. My photographic images capture the beauty of nature for you and your visitors.
Patients, visitors, and homeowners can all benefit from the positive imagery of flowers, trees, vistas, water and other natural scenery.
Take time to purposefully create your patient, employee, and personal environments to take advantage of the calming benefits of nature.
