SOUTH PAVILION ART ENCOMPASSES ALL FORMS

Besides being in the eye of the beholder, art comes in three visual forms. Painting is art to look at, sculpture is art to walk around and architecture is art to walk through.

The new South Pavilion at Roanoke Memorial Hospital encompasses all three art forms. Roanoke's Gallery 3 and McMann Fine Arts galleries were contacted and asked about local and regional artists whose work would be suitable and affordable for the new hospital facility.

Becky Garrison, interior decorator for JMGR Architects, coordinated the purchase and placement of each piece. Artists whose work is displayed in the new South Pavilion include:

Liz Kregloe of Roanoke: "Radiant Light Quilt," handmade paper sculpture for ground floor lobby.

Ruth Cole of Moneta: Floral landscapes and cut flower arrangements in acrylic for intensive care unit rooms.

Laura Howell of Lynchburg: Cut flower paintings in watercolor for semi-private rooms and Roanoke market scenes for corridors in private PCU wing.

Larry Horowitz of New York: Roanoke Valley scenes in pastels for private progressive care unit rooms.

Ed Bordett of Fincastle: Silk screen pieces for each private room.

Marcia McDade of Roanoke: Mixed media abstracts and silk screen works throughout South Pavilion.

Eric Fitzpatrick of Roanoke: Scenes of the Blue Ridge Parkway in watercolor.

Greg Osterhaus: Florals in watercolor for family consultation rooms.

Dennis Kilper of Blacksburg: Rhododendrum and native environment theme for oil painting for ground floor lobby.

Gordon Neal: Colored pencil works in corridors.

Lucinda Caristrom of Atlanta: quilted paper art.

Mending Hearts Quilts: 34 handmade quilts with squares honoring heart patients of the first decade of Roanoke Memorial Hospital's heart surgery program.
