Art should be well thought out for each planned healthcare area. This is one website I review for old and new evidence based art planning recommendations for Healthcare.

Highlights of Pediatric Projects:
CCF Westlake had a large atrium in which I planned a series of “high flying ” colorful large Kites that could be seen through the glass walls of the five floors looking into it. a large mural wall was commissioned of a lovely expanse of a lakefront home with children flying kites and a garden below. Each pediatric exam room had a kite hanging from the ceiling.
CCF Solon: The corridor leading to the Pediatric waiting area was filed with holograms at various levels for children of all ages to move about and enjoy. Robert Vickrey prints danced with balloons and children on bikes through the waiting area. Each exam room had a hand held puppet hanging by the exam table that doctors could use to amuse and distract children as they made diagnostic evaluations.
I curated the only two art exhibitions with NASA Glenn in a healthcare facility. We placed in the Children’s Hospital lobby a large 20 foot long space related LEGO installation by Adrian Drake.https://www.flickr.com/photos/brickfrenzy/albums/72157609026700575
Other pediatric waiting rooms included main campus and satellites that spread throughout northeast Ohio and into Florida. I preferred to intermingle Important American art by artists selling at the major auction houses with important regional art.
In Florida we secured the acquisition of a bronze Manatee and cub as well as a jumping dolphin by Kathy Spalding…she is world renown for the flying fish in the Atlantis Fountain. Birds and animals indigenous to Florida were added by Connie Bransilver https://www.conniebransilver.com/stills/ with Jennie, Jones, and other photographers.
Professional History: As a corporate Interior Designer for a turnkey architectural firm, my professional experience provides me with a unique professional art consulting background. I have been trained to architecturally consider finishes, furnishings, and lighting when selecting artwork.
Business experience: This includes sales, marketing, contract negotiation, and art acquisition, advisory services for current collections, fine art exhibitions and archival preservation.
Corporate clients: She has led and coordinated fine art projects have included architectural firms Cesar Pelli’s Office, Perkins and Will, Bostwick Associates, among others.
Artist Representation: Ms. DeChant strongly support important local artists as well as nationally and internationally recognized artists.
Cleveland Clinic Fine Arts Program: The art program at the Cleveland Clinic was instituted by Dr. Shattuck Hartwell and his Clinic Aesthetics Committee along with Julie Meyers from Cesar Pelli’s office in 1985. Other notable committee members included Carol Tomer, archivist for the Cleveland Clinic, and Andrew Chakalis from the Cleveland Museum of Art.The program was established as a regionally based art collection.
DeChant Art Consulting’s collaboration with the Cleveland Clinic was under the leadership of Dr. Floyd Loop, President and CEO, and Dr. Joseph Hahn, Chairman Aesthetics Committee.
This partnership was established in the 1990’s. At that time Cleveland Clinic had no artwork in public spaces. Under DeChant’s art curation she instituted the professional art program guidelines for the institution, implemented their first art systems database, established best practices for professional art framing and installation practices, and expanded their collection to include important American artists. DeChant’s curatorial work on the CCF Art program was early evidence-based art planning using research on color theory and artworks that would be appropriate for pediatric care, geriatric care, psychiatric care, and healthcare institutions in general.
As part of her healthcare art management experience DeChant organized or curated approximately 8-10 art exhibitions every year. Some of these exhibitions included the first Kinetic Art exhibit, two CCF/ NASA exhibits ( Unique to a Healthcare Institution), Women in Art exhibit, The 75th Anniversary Exhibition with Jennie Jones photography, annual Calligraphy Shows, annual Quilt Shows (that supported the Diabetes Research Department at the Cleveland Clinic), the Employee Art Show, and an annual Nature a Cure for Stress exhibition. The Nature A Cure for Stress Exhibition DeChant curated for the hospital environment during the dead of winter with paintings, photography, sculpture and prints of the most beautiful scenes of vacation places, botanical gardens, favorite animals, seascapes, etc.
As part of DeChant’s success with the CCF art program, The Society for the Arts in Healthcare asked her to speak at two of their conferences about the history of the Cleveland Clinic art program. The second Society for the Arts in Healthcare conference presentation also included the impact of art and their role in reducing stress among doctors, hospital staff and patients.Dr. Michale McKee, Head of Psychiatry developed a dvd of the Nature A Cure for Stress Art Exhibit with voice over to calm patients and uplift their spirits. It was presented at the Society for the Arts in Healthcare conference, and then broadcast daily on the CCF closed circuit station.
DeChant has since curated art programs for Benesch Law, Majestic Steel, Nuveen Investments, and other institutions.
Teresa M DeChant How Much is That Art Worth ?
When encountering artwork, people often ask some of the following questions. Who
is the artist? When was it made? How was it made? What does it mean? There is, however, one other popular question regarding art that people of all ages and all backgrounds tend to ask: how much is it worth?
This question is not as easy to answer as the preceding ones, because the answer depends on the intersection of three fluctuating elements: art collecting, art history and the art market.
Art collecting is the basic foundation for how values are assigned to artwork. Those
who collect art include individual collectors, corporations and museums. While individual art collectors may pay the same high prices for artwork as corporations and museums, the function of these collections differs greatly. Most simply, individual art collectors collect for themselves, while corporate collectors and museums collect for their institutions and a public audience. Individual collectors may someday deposit their artwork into museums, but collecting categories tend to be more rigid in corporations and museums than for individual collectors.
These collecting categories are directly related to art history. It is art history which defines which artists and artwork are valuable to our society and are deserving of further study.
In some sense, once a work of art becomes famous, its intrinsic value increases, as does its financial value. Art history, however, does not happen overnight. It is a process that involves weighing the impact an artist has had on the art world, based on exhibitions, reviews and influence on other artists.
The market depends on art history and encourages art collecting, the foundation of the art market stems from a basic economic rule: supply and demand. It may seem greatly disrespectful for the value of artwork to increase after an artist is deceased, but again, market value assignments depend on rarity. Once an artist is no longer living, the supply of their artwork becomes limited and their artwork increases in value.
This short essay only gives a glimpse as to how value is assigned to artwork. It does, however, offer insight into the systems of art collecting, art history and the art market that together inform individuals, corporations and museums what artwork to buy and how much to pay. However, looking at financial value alone when determining the success of an artist is not always sufficient.
An artist should have their artwork in important exhibitions, as well as in museum and corporate collections. These factors are just as important.
These collecting categories are directly related to art history. It is art history that
Art history and art collecting together influence the art market. Although the art
This short essay does not fully answer the question it posed in the first paragraph
A successful artist should have artwork in important museum and gallery exhibitions.
These are as important to make an artist successful as the actual sales and again, demonstrate that art collecting, art history and the art market collectively and systematically
answer the question….. “How much is that art worth?

ARTIST STATEMENT: Hampshire Road Gardens Series 2017, “Curious Case of Color”
After taking a couple years off, away from the studio, I promised myself I would begin again, and make paintings as sensuous and generous as my summer garden 2016.
I thought the climate of my Hampshire Road garden had potential for pleasure and commitment. A pleasure maintained by a soil of mixed chemistry and a harvest of unique taste… texture and color. How better can we celebrate the ‘flower of life’.
When beginning this project, I was sure I wanted to use the DNA double helix as a pattern motif. I have consistently used significant form as an ‘invented and arcane’ iconography. A processing of motifs that symbolize and clearly represents a cognitive ‘push and pull’ that Pieter Cornelis “Piet” Mondriaan described as ‘dynamic equilibrium’.
The drafting and processing of the background imagery is also reinvented through color juxtaposition. The ability of hue and simultaneous contrast to change our perception of form.
The centered ‘ladder’ figuration references the Watson-Crick DNA structure.
I selected and favor this geometric color coded ‘ladder structure’ as a synergistic and expressive metaphor. My drawing and painting remain representations of graphic ‘content’… the substance or matter of cognition… a ‘garden variety paradigm’.
