The Gallery Programs at Wake Med Cary Hospital play an integral part in supporting community artwork while also serving to brighten the halls for patients and staff. WakeMed Cary proudly supports CVA in our efforts to engage the public through artwork by local artists, school children and staff of WakeMed Cary. This booklet contains an array of photography and artwork currently exhibited at the Reflection Gallery in WakeMed Cary Hospital. The unique components of each piece reflect each artist’s inspiration, method, and message. The works are meant to engage viewers and evoke responses of joy, critical thinking, or, as the gallery’s name suggests, reflection. The complexity and subjectivity of visual art allows viewers to become distracted or engulfed by the various colors, mediums, lines, and other aspects that make up the work. The Reflection Gallery provides this healing experience for hospital visitors, staff, and patients.

“As a fine Art Photographer I see the world in terms of lights and shadows. My subjects include landscapes, seascapes, wildlife, and birds. My images reflect the exact ‘look’ and ‘feel’ I experienced at the time of capture.”

“Ryan enjoys creating art using different mediums. This was one of his first charcoal pieces. He enjoys drawing with pencils, oils, charcoals, and water colors. He draws his inspiration from places he visits and his surroundings. This piece was his vision of the Golden Gate Bridge.�

“I create vibrant abstract paintings using acrylics, charcoal, metal leaf, and other media on panel. I repeatedly add and remove materials to create a multi-layered and richly textured surface. The modular Reservoir panels are designed to yield multiple configurations.�

“I consider myself to be a conceptual abstract artist with a decorative sensibility. These paintings are from my Roadscape series--an interpretation of landscape as motion. They are inspired by the nature viewed through my windshield during numerous road trips.�

at WakeMed Cary Hospital is in recognition of local artists and in appreciation of the staff at WakeMed. The family and friends of Sandy Lappin (1947 - 2011) devotedly donate this gallery in her remembrance. The gallery spans close to 45’ in length and is surrounded by natural light and a courtyard view through the windows. Local artists from Cary and Wake County exhibit their work in three month quarters, four times a year. This gallery was made possible by the family of Sandy Lappin, in partnership with WakeMed Cary Hospital; an expansion of the gallery took place in the summer of 2013 with funds made possible by the Cary Photographic Artists.
