Wolverhampton palliative care charity unveils inspiring new artwork at headquarters
The winning entry of a creative competition to transform Compton Care's headquarters through a piece of art has been unveiled.
Compton Care has invited local artists earlier in the year to take part in the creative challenge to transform Compton Hall with a fabulous and meaningful piece of art.
The palliative care charity revealed the winning design on Thursday, which was created by Charlotte Webb, a Wolverhampton-based illustrator, and is installed to the side of the hall as a striking mural that brings meaning, colour and inspiration to the space.
The judging panel, led by Compton Care chief executive Rachel Overfield, selected Charlotte’s design for its creativity, emotional depth, and ability to capture the spirit of Compton, and the artwork is now a permanent feature of Compton Hall.
Rachel Overfield said: “At Compton Care, we’re always striving to find new and meaningful ways to enhance the experience of our patients.
"Every detail matters, from the care we provide to the environment we create.
"We believe that surroundings can uplift, comfort, and inspire, which is why this project means so much to us.
"Well done to the Charlotte for capturing that spirit so beautifully.”
Charlotte Webb said: “It’s been an absolute honour to create something so meaningful for Compton Care.
"As a local artist, I feel deeply connected to the community, and being able to contribute to a space that offers so much compassion and support is incredibly special.
"Seeing it come to life on the building today was truly emotional. I’m so proud to be part of something that will inspire patients, families, and staff every day.”
Rachel Overfield also said: “We’re thrilled to be working with such a talented artist as Charlotte.
"Her illustrations are fabulous, and I’m delighted to announce that everyone now has the chance to enjoy her work home.
"Twelve of her beautiful designs will feature in this year’s Compton Care calendar, along with the cover artwork for our Compton Care diaries, both available from our Compton stores."
