Opening
a new branch medical office in an upscale part of town, we wanted to make
the public areas unique and attractive.
However, we were faced
with one major problem in the waiting room – a very large, flat white space
on one wall that had been
constructed to separate
our area from the adjacent company which had formerly occupied both
offices. This space stuck out
like a sore thumb,
completely out of sync with the bright color scheme of the rest of our
office and we couldn’t think of anything
short of a major
re-construction project to solve the problem.
When we saw Tatiana’s
work, we knew our problem was solved. After an on site inspection and with
minimal direction from
us, she put her artistic
vision and imagination to work and came up with a preliminary design
incorporating the basic seaside
theme that we had
selected and adding an Italian villa look. The finished product transformed
an eyesore into the focal point of
the room. Her mural
expands the entire room, gives it life and dimensions, and brings a pastoral
outdoor scene into that most
drab of spaces – a
medical waiting room. Patients spend more time looking at the mural than
reading the magazines, small
children walk up to pet,
and occasionally kiss, birds in the foreground of the scene and sometimes
even talk to them. One day
I fully expect someone to
try to walk out onto the portico Tatiana painted.
Tatiana’s artistry has
brightened our office and also brightened the lives of our patients and our
staff. It’s a continual
conversation piece. And
the best part is that she painted the mural on a heavy canvas which we can
take down and bring along
if we ever move to
another location. Her beautiful mural art was the perfect fit for our
office." Dr. Bill Blackshear
