The subtle placement of one or two images of butterflies in a sitting room has the power to evoke a calm, beautiful Spring day. These images are extremely colorful and represent the transformation from the mundane to the beautiful. In some hospitals patients can select the pictures and artwork in their rooms in some hospitals. Empowering patients to choose what art and pictures they surround themselves with may help the healing process.

Roses, lilies, orchids and daisies also bring color into a living space and in a print they are perennially in bloom, pretty, delicate and represent life coming into fullness.

Lighthouses represent guiding lights bringing us to safe shores in stormy weather--security in a harsh world. They also represent man working with nature.
