Before I Die: Illustrated
Before I Die: Illustrated
What do you want to do before you die? This amazing piece of artwork may have the answer.
Painted by Laura McCartney, currently studying illustration at Duncan of Jordanstone, the picture was inspired by the before I die aspirations of the people of Dundee.
Last summer, NHS Tayside staff took before I die walls to a number of community engagement events across the region. The walls captured people's imaginations, and were soon filled with inspirational, moving and humorous ideas...
"Learn to make my own bunting"
"See Hawaii"
"Spend a night with Status Quo"
Following the success of these events, Elaine Colville, Macmillan Practice Educator got in touch with staff at Duncan of Jordanstone to see if a student would be interested in creating a piece of art to visually represent the BiD walls. Elaine said:
"I just love it and think it is a great way to capture and keep the thoughts and wishes of the people of Dundee."
This beautiful piece of artwork is now a permanent feature in the Palliative Care Education Unit at the Victoria Hospital in Dundee.
