In the Artists words: Florence Squirrelingale, RN was sponsored by the anesthesiologists at the Olean General Hospital. She especially enjoyed creating the three dimensional additions required, such as her stethoscope, “pill” buttons, and nurse’s cap. It is her hope that Florence will bring a smile to all those who may be entering or exiting the hospital.

Bio: Theresa Heinz lives in Cuba with her husband and two daughters. She has taught art at the Olean High School for 14 years. Most recently her artwork has moved away from traditional landscape painting to mixed media collage and clay sculpture. Theresa believes that we should create art continually not because we can, but because we must feel that creating is part of the fiber of our being.
