MLive: Artworks on display in hospital

Local artists Nancy Arndt and Karen Richard are having their works showcased in Plainwell’s Borgess-Pipp Hospital.  Richard and Arndt have 27 and 25 paintings, respectively, up for view and sale, reports MLive. The pastel works are located in the main east-west hallway and will be on display until Oct. 15. Both use the process of photographing their scenes before painting.

Excerpt: “Having art is a good tool for our therapists to use to get patients up and walking around,” Jennifer Wallace, Borgess-Pipp director of clinical services  said. “We have patients from the intensive care unit (ICU) — as well as 22 long-term acute care beds that will have patients upwards of 30 days, able to see and experience all of these great works.”
