With the support of James O. Young’s commission of “Twins”, he and Kelli Stretesky donated the first oil paintings to launch Art For Hospitals + in her hometown of Ardmore, Oklahoma on January 5, 2015 to Mercy Hospital Ardmore.
The paintings can be viewed near the hospital gift shop. Please feel free to take photos of the art and post them to Art For Hospitals + Facebook page and use the hashtag #artforhospitals for other social media sites. Thank you!
