Coloring isn't just for kids!

UK HealthCare recently distributed nearly 500 oversized, adhesive-backed coloring sheets to hospital units in order to help ease the stress of our frontline workers. I chose one of my favorite places in Kentucky for the illustration: Cumberland Falls, in hopes that one of the Commonwealth’s most beautiful views would offer a calming effect to our hospital staff.

I collaborated on the design with art therapists from UK HealthCare Integrative Medicine to use their expertise to maximize the stress relieving style of the illustration.

These coloring sheets were printed on uncoated adhesive wall vinyl, which is easily removable without damaging the wall surface, and prevents the markers from bleeding through as well. I was in close contact with our print vendor at Southland Printing to ensure the material met the requirements for both fire safety and the Joint Commission.
