Henry Edward Braselton Chapel

Braselton, GA
Artist: Laura Mentor
Donor: Family of Henry Edward Braselton
Timeline: January 2015 – March 2016

Artist Statement: “As an artist creating artwork within a hospital, I want to contribute to the healing and health education taking place here. The chapel itself was created as a quiet haven for reflection. The stained glass windows were inspired by my experiences of walking through the beautiful landscape of this part of Georgia, learning about the history of Braselton and listening to stories that members of the Braselton family shared with me. The natural beauty of this place is interwoven with the history of the community. I hope that my windows will encourage reflection on the stories told within them, and invite you to explore more deeply the region which inspired them. We are all born into the garden of this world, and if we will sustain this gift, it can offer health and wellness to us and future generations.” – Laura Mentor
