Greenbrook TMS NeuroHealth Tree of Hope Mural project in progress.

I have completed murals in the following offices so far... Annapolis, Greenbelt, Owings Mills, Bel Air, Hunt Valley and Columbia, all in Maryland.  The project is very engaging.  Several patients and staff/doctors have willingly added their own leaves as I am painting, which they are happy to sign or initial! While there is some consistency in design and color schemes are congruent with the TMS green and brown corporate marketing materials, other accent colors are varying.  Bel Air has some purples, while Owings Mills has lime green, and Columbia has some brighter blues, all in support of their decor/furniture. Touches of gold bring areas to life!
Only the first few were lightly sketched on walls prior to painting. I am now free handing every layout, beginning with trunk and branch systems before adding colors and details from dark to light.  Please see earlier post. Office lighting is usually bright /varied and photographing
Owings Mills
large wall spaces is sometimes a challenge. Most colors are much more rich in hue than the photos portray.

Lots is new in my art world. I am currently working on a corporate commission, installing very large paintings in mental health treatment offices for Greenbrook TMS NeuroHealth. The pieces represent Trees of Hope, their corporate image. I am so enjoying matching each painting to each office's color scheme, while including some subtle branding components. I have incorporated my own symbolism in the composition of the paintings, to represent the patient as they may come in to treatment through their success. I am very excited about the use of color and space to bring the patients into the visual.  Many have spontaneously agreed to paint with me, adding their own leaves on the trees.  This makes me very happy, as patients say they feel so included!
So far, I have installed murals in the following locations: Annapolis, MD., Greenbelt, MD, Columbia, MD., Hunt Valley, MD., and Bel Air, MD., and Owings Mills, MD. In the next weeks I will be working in Wilmington, DE and Easton, MD, as well as Glen Burnie, MD. Newark NJ is upcoming.
Photos will be uploaded soon.
