About the Artwork:

For the Restorative Care Village residents, Los Angeles artist Renée Fox created a permanent exterior artwork that depicts a serene, floating sunrise over the surrounding San Gabriel Foothills. In this 20x40 foot mural, a charm of large-scale, lifelike Allen’s Hummingbirds- a Western species, which can be found feeding and nesting yearlong amongst the drought resistant, native, flowering plants nearby- playfully animates the landscape. The artist highlights the value of our natural environment and Nature’s ability to inspire and heal. With its spectacular colors and gentle sense of movement, Sunrise over the San Gabriels reminds residents, employees, and visitors of the Olive View Medical Center to embrace and reflect upon the natural beauty around them. Hand-painted in lightfast Keim mineral paints on ¼ inch aluminum panels, this multi-element mural also complements the contemporary architecture of the Restorative Care Village.
