It's only natural that hospital leaders created this special place for local artwork. The generous sprinkling of art that may be seen all around the hospital is a conscious effort.
Fauquier Hospital is a Planetree-designated facility. The Planetree model of patient-centered care recognizes that it takes more than sutures and medicine to "get better." The physical environment -- open, airy and artfully decorated -- lends itself to healing as well.
Artists who have recently displayed their creations at the hospital include Martha Thomas, who works in acrylics, Gary Huff, who in addition to painting watercolors owns Holy Cow Designs in Culpeper, and Brian Garrett, a photographer.
Fauquier artist Linda Lawler will be displaying her artwork at Fauquier Hospital through September 5, 2008. A conservation activist in Fauquier County, she says that her landscapes are motivated by her love of her home and surrounding countryside.
