inherent in the vintage tools of past generations.

 In September, The Alfred I. duPont/Nemours Children's Hospital opened

their new facility in Wilmington, DE.

Throughout the entire facility is art designed to appeal to children and

make their stay there maybe just a little bit brighter.

I was pleased to donate three pieces of art for this mission.
