Our stunning new mural at the Acorn Suite, Diana Princess of Wales Hospital Grimsby.

Created by talented artist Kathleen Smith, who manages our community arts programme and brings her creativity and expertise to every project, the artwork is filled with nature, symbolism, hope and new beginnings.

We don’t just paint murals. We transform spaces.

A place of calm, hope and reflection.

We don’t just paint murals and transform spaces. Through art, we can help transform how a space feels.

We’re incredibly proud of this stunning new artwork created by our talented Community Arts Manager and artist, Kathleen Smith, for the Acorn Suite at the Maternity Services at Diana Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby.

The Acorn Suite is a place where families come for scans and appointments, and the aim was to create something relaxing, calming and positive.
Kathleen has created a beautiful natural scene filled with symbolism connected to childbirth, new life, hope and nature.

The oak trees link to the Acorn Suite itself. Butterflies, including Red Admirals, Painted Ladies and Small Tortoiseshells, bring a sense of transformation and new beginnings. Wild roses, sunflowers, cornflowers and primroses bring colour and life to the space. Geese feature within the artwork, alongside other carefully considered details, each with its own meaning. The rainbow is perhaps the most poignant element, representing hope after loss.

As an Arts in Health organisation, being able to work within hospital environments is incredibly meaningful to us. It is made even more special knowing that Kathleen herself previously worked as a nurse and actually completed her nurse training at Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital.
From nursing the people who use our local hospital, to now using her creativity to help make a space feel calmer and more welcoming, Kathleen has come full circle.

A truly beautiful piece of work.

Stunning artwork, meaningful symbolism and, most importantly, a space designed with people in mind.

Big thank you to The Health Tree Foundation
