UnityPoint Health Showcases Artwork by Local Photographer Christopher V. Sherman in New Marion Emergency Room
Marion, Iowa – Marion-based fine arts photographer Christopher V. Sherman’s photographic art pieces will be prominently displayed in the soon-to-open state-of-the-art St. Luke’s Emergency Room (ER) in Marion, Iowa located at 3301 Armar Drive. Earlier this year, St. Luke’s reached out to Sherman because they wanted to show off the beauty and essence of the Marion community – all while creating a calming environment for their patients.
Sherman, a skilled landscape and cityscape photographer, has masterfully captured the essence and beauty of Marion through his lens. His artwork, which is prominently displayed in the new emergency room, includes breathtaking drone shots of the local region. Patients and visitors to St. Luke’s Marion ER will be treated to stunning views of Indian Creek, the iconic Marion Water Tower, the vibrant Prospect Meadows baseball fields, the unique “Cornhenge” sculpture, and the serene City Square Park.
UnityPoint Health and Christopher V. Sherman have a history of successful collaboration. In 2021, UnityPoint Clinic incorporated several of Sherman’s photos into the environmental branding at UnityPoint Clinic Lindale Express, which opened the same year. This partnership has been instrumental in creating visually appealing and comforting environments for patients and visitors.
“Integrating Christopher V. Sherman’s photography into the design of our new Marion emergency room allows us to create a welcoming environment that resonates with the community,” said Jillian Schatzle, UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Hospital Marion ER nurse manager. “We believe the artwork will not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the space but also provide comfort and a sense of connection to our patients and their families.”
Christopher V. Sherman added, “It’s an honor to have my work featured in UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Hospital’s new Marion emergency room. My goal has always been to convey the art and personality of our local community through my photography. I hope that these images bring a sense of peace and familiarity to everyone who visits.”
A community open house for St. Luke’s Marion ER is set for Saturday, July 27 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. Individuals are invited to tour the new facility, enjoy light refreshments and pick-up giveaways.
St. Luke’s Marion ER will open Aug. 6, at 9 a.m.
