Grace Cottage’s Talented Artists in Residence

If you've been in the hallways at Grace Cottage Hospital or the Community Wellness Center recently, you've probably notice a wealth of artistic talent displayed on the walls. Most of this art has been created by employees who have generously agreed to display their work here in order to share it with co-workers and guests of Grace Cottage. In alphabetical order, here's what they do artistically and in their day jobs!
