This cloudscape was painted on the ceiling of the lobby entry to a family maternity center. The hospital's goal has always been to provide families not only with expert care, but also with a comfortable, serene environment during a time which, although joyful, can also be stressful. A mural of sky and clouds was designed to create just such a serene atmosphere.
A drawing was made beforehand to determine the placement of clouds, wind direction, and which clouds would be the most defined, so that the mural could also act as a wayfinding mechanism, helping visitors to find the reception desk, elevators, or waiting area.
