PORT TOWNSEND — “Cooling Waters,” “Find a Balance” and “Healed Tree” are three of the new paintings Northwind Art has installed at Jefferson Healthcare hospital as part of its “Art around Town” program.
Thirty-three works from four artists are in waiting rooms and hallways at the facility.
The works include “Rhody and Varied Thrush” by watercolorist-oil painter Christine Busch, “Shoot for the Moon” by acrylic painter Corinne Humphrey, “Yellow Eden” by mixed media artist Randy Sturgis and “Deep Sheep 2” by woodworker Evan Miller.
“Seeing a piece of art can offer a little bit of beauty and solace,” Northwind spokesperson Diane Urbani said. “This installation is for everyone who comes to the hospital: patients, staff and visitors.”
This latest collection will stay up through mid-September, when a new set of local artists’ works will be rotated in.
More information about Northwind Art’s exhibitions, gallery and art classes can be found at www.northwindart.org.
The public also is invited to visit Northwind’s nonprofit Jeanette Best Gallery at 701 Water St. in Port Townsend, where the hours are from noon to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Mondays.
