Lynne designed and created a range of large-scale murals throughout the A&E Department, including the reception and waiting areas, four subwait areas and X-Ray corridor. Colour and imagery was a crucial element in this project and the mural was carefully designed using the effective use of colour psychology to enhance well-being. Lynne was delighted to work with a team of people from the community these included:

  • Derwent Art Group
  • Sinfin Art Group
  • Year 9 Students from Woodlands School, Derby
  • Staff from Woodlands School, Derby
  • Sixth Form Students from Derby College, Bilborough College and Alfreton Grange Arts College
  • Derby City Residents

Lynne also ran an arts competition engaging Primary Schools to create artwork for the Children’s area at A&E in response to the mural design . The six winning entries have been formatted onto canvas and hung in the Children’s Area of A&E.
