In October, I hung a collection of maternity and baby photographs in the Maternity Ward of Queen of the Valley Hospital in Napa, CA. This is a permanent collection of both pregnancy pictures, as well as several photographs from my Bebe Collection. The Bebe collection encompasses the first year of a child’s life from newborn, to 12 months.
Previously, the walls were quite stark in the department, but with the addition of fifteen, large-scale photographs, the walls have become a gallery, and for the people in the waiting room, it adds a wonderful feel and artistic point of view to the Halls of Labor and Delivery.
I have received lots of positive feedback from the patients and Queen of the Valley staff. It is amazing what a tremendous impact artwork can have in a space. I feel fortunate to be able to share my work in such a lovely part of my community –where babies are being brought into the world –-and what a gorgeous part of the world Napa Valley is!
Next time you are at Queen of the Valley, be sure to take a look at the walls of the Labor and Delivery Department. You are sure to smile!

Fantastic. There is a new Medical Office building in Yonkers New York called Ridge Hill. It could sure use some of your photographs!! The walls are baron and need some of your photographs to warm the place up.

I work at the hospital but didn’t realize this was your work. Given the incredible job you did at our wedding, I am proud that QVMC chose your art for permanent display in the maternity ward.
Congratulations,
