Local artist to unveil beautiful mural painted for UTMC pediatric patients
May 30th, 2012 by Meghan Cunningham
Jeannine Dailey poses in front of the mural she created in the lobby of UTMC pediatrics clinic.
As Jeannine Dailey finishes the vast mural that spans the walls of The University of Toledo Medical Center’s Pediatric Clinic located in the Ruppert Health Center, it seems fitting that the beauty she’s created for kids and families comes from having successfully conquering the results of a disease normally associated with children.
On Thursday, May 31, at 7 p.m. in the Ruppert Health Center on UT’s Health Science Campus, Dailey will unveil her mural and share her remarkable story.
After catching chickenpox as an adult and having part of her brain removed, Dailey was expected to live the rest of her life in a nursing home.
Instead, working with The Ohio Rehabilitation ServicesCommission (RSC), Goodwill Industries and the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Small Business Development Center, Dailey has her own business, Visions Murals, LLC.
“I always wanted to open a mural painting business” Dailey said at Vision Murals’ launch celebration in August of last year, “and this new program is allowing my dreams to come true.”
