As 2019 draws to a close, am thinking back over a very special commission for the Birmingham Children’s Hospital’s PICU. It was such an honour to work alongside their amazing team, thank you to the incredible Gillian Campbell 💙 RGN/ RSCN (She/Her) for getting in touch to see if I could reimagine the space!

Then our book became a building. 3 hospitals in fact, all of them hospitals, starting with the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, which used the book's paintings & poems, re-designed by Alison O'Toole, to re-imagine what a hospital's corridors & waiting rooms might look like.


The Lost Words by me & @JackieMorrisArt has become the walls of a third hospital. Beautiful initiative by Gloucestershire Hospitals & Niki Whitfield to bring art, poetry & nature into the Elderly Care Ward. 🙏 Design: Alison O'Toole 📸 Anna Lythgoe Details: gloshospitals.nhs.uk/about-us/news-…
