Art donation welcomes visitors to newly remodeled North Shore Health

Artist Jeff Niesen was commissioned by his grandmother, North Shore Health Care Center resident Marcy Podas, to create some artwork for the recently remodeled medical facility. Jeff's paintings were installed in the sitting area between the hospital and care center, where patients and family members gather for quiet visits.

WTIP's Rhonda Silence talked to Jeff Niesen about the thoughts behind the paintings which bring the feel of the northwoods indoors for hospital-bound patients. Here's their conversation.
