Today I dropped by to see the chapel glass art. I was so taken I’m speechless. I could have spent hours there. Having grown up in this area I could so relate to the many features. Many related to the area and those special touches for the Braselton’s themselves! Even the fraternity symbol! How did she do that? I hope and believe they will be as touched as I. Thanks so much.

Hiring an art consultant was a big deal for us – we had never even had a budget for art on a project before. And we had a general bias against consultants – we questioned the value. But Distinctive Art Source gave us personal attention and brought ideas and resources we didn’t have. Now that I’ve been through the process, I can tell it would have been overwhelming to try to find and install the art on our own. The art program is a major contribution to the healing environment.

Barbara’s attention to detail and her energy to follow through on details made her stand out. She brought great ideas, creativity and valuable relationships to our project. Children’s hospitals tend to overdesign and over theme, but the art is harmonious with the rest of the building – it complements the interior design and wayfinding design concept of a ‘Hospital within a Garden.’ With regard to our vision – we hit it out of the park! More importantly, we were on time and on budget.

We hired Distinctive Art Source because of their focus on evidence based art. We were a little concerned that the company was not local because we had been criticized for hiring out of town vendors. But Distinctive Art Source helped us create positive relationships in our own community. It was a huge success to us that the art program was accepted and embraced by the local art community.
