Jacobs ladder Mural Art
About this mural:
This mural was commissioned to be a source for inspiration for patience in the palliative care suite of the Saint Francis home. I actually witnessed firsthand its inspirational affects on one resident moved to the suite with I was still working on the mural. She sat up in the bed and spoke to me about the work. Doctors though she would never sit up or speak again before this. She fed off of the energy of creation and was active until the work was finished. She passed away one week later.
