Sea Turtle Greeting by virginia fleck

Wallpaper Mural for a Pediatric X-ray Room

Location: University Health System, Pediatric Emergency Department, San Antonio, TX

This x-ray room was beige and rather stark (visit our Instagram for the before and after pictures). Happy Wall Design created an immersive, calming environment with a floor-to-ceiling wallpaper mural. The large kindly sea turtle is placed at child-height for the benefit of young patients on the x-ray table. The dense underwater imagery is filled with hidden sea creatures for pediatric patients to discover.

Sea Creatures by virginia fleck

Dimensional Murals, Pop-Up Prints, and Signage for a Pediatric Clinic

Location: New Braunfels Pediatric Associates, PA, New Braunfels, TX

A newly constructed pediatric clinic asked Happy Wall Design to create a lighthearted, underwater, sea-creature theme throughout their clinic. We made large Dimensional Murals for their main and infant waiting rooms. The Dimensional Murals are filled with hidden creatures and colorful underwater imagery that encourages exploration. We added circular, sea-creature Pop-Up Prints and coordinated signage for their nine treatment rooms. On top of that, we really had fun with additional humorous signage for the restrooms along with wayfinding signage throughout the clinic.

Aquarium by virginia fleck

A 60 ft Dimensional Mural, Pop-Up Prints, and More for a Pediatric ER

Location: University Health System, Children's Emergency Department, San Antonio, TX

A newly renovated pediatric ER requested aquarium-themed art for their emergency department. We came up with a combination of Dimensional Murals and Pop-Up Prints and wallpaper that would create a positive distraction and a welcoming vibe for children and their families. The sea creatures in this Dimensional Mural are intentionally designed as friendly greeters. They have been placed at a special "child-height"  for young patients arriving by ambulance who are wheeled through this corridor on a gurney.

Blossom Bounce by virginia fleck

High Energy Pop-Up Prints for a Pediatric Floor

Location: NYU Langone Medical Center's Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, NY

Blossom Bounce was commissioned via Kenise Barnes Fine Art for the pediatric in-patient unit of the NYU Langone Medical Center's Hospital for Joint Diseases in New York City. The artwork was design to be engaging and stimulating for the pediatric in-patients. Blossom Bounce consists of over 100 die-cut laminated prints arranged on three feature walls and a PT room. The brightly colored imagery on each print is derived from artwork made from recycled plastic bags and wrappers. The resulting artworks reveal the hidden beauty of the overlooked, disposable materials that continually pass through our hands. Color, light and pattern are employed in ways that engage the viewer and energize the space. The choice of everyday materials— the ubiquitous plastic bag—is a celebration and elevation of common things, inviting us to re-frame the ordinary and to see the potential for the extraordinary all around us. These die-cut, archival prints are flush mounted, touchable, permanently sealed and virtually unbreakable.
