Di Gomery created the art currently on display in one of York Hospital's main corridors. She hopes that the painting will boost the spirits of those passing by.
The artwork is inspired by DI's sketchbooks, including a series of works created daily between December 2024 and February 2025, to celebrate the lives of our dear friends who have passed away.

Di said: “Since hospital staff are so busy moving from one station to the next, we decided to use the use of vibrant colours to create a sense of growth and renewal through the subject, celebrating the gestures and markings that oil paints make possible.
“I really hope these paintings are a flowing, fun, wall of energy that will walk in a critical way with the audience for a while.”
DI added: “In collaboration with the arts team supported by York & Scarborough Hospital charity, we can promote exhibitions and artwork within wards and departments, our mission is to improve the hospital experience for patients, visitors and staff through music and art workshop programs.”
