The beauty of nature is the inspiration behind artwork at the new women and children’s physiotherapy unit in Bungalow 6 at Lochview which opened recently.
Scottish artist Liz Myhill, together with the help of pupils at Carrongrange High School, worked on a brief to provide a calming environment, centred around the theme of woodland and nature. The result is a beautiful wall frieze with birds and trees in the waiting area with repeating motifs other areas such as the paediatric gym and the unit entrance.
NHS Forth Valley’s Women and Children’s Physiotherapy Co-ordinator, Geraldine Law, said: “The Rowans is a purpose-built facility for the Pelvic Health and Paediatric Physiotherapy Departments which recently relocated there from their previous base at Forth Valley Royal Hospital. The installation of the artwork and the link with Artlink Central and Carrongrange High school has been very positive.
“The artwork provides a calming environment for both patients and staff who use the facility. It is really beautiful and children love looking for the birds and leaves. The fact it has been completed in conjunction with Carrongrange pupils makes it even more special.”
This is the second time that artist Liz Myhill has worked with pupils in the Falkirk area on artwork for NHS Forth Valley. Her first commission was for the Oncology Unit at Forth Valley Royal Hospital which was completed with the help of youngsters from Larbert High School.
