Ms Hulford-Grieg said: “The kingfisher artwork was inspired by the birds that visit the lake at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital. Kingfishers are considered lucky birds, representing beauty and grace.”
She said the second mural aimed to help people feel “connected to the local area”.
Laura Joy, the hospital trust’s arts manager, said: “This collaboration demonstrates the positive impact of creative partnerships between education and healthcare, enriching public spaces while offering emerging artists the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to their community.”
It is hoped the project will become an annual event – partnering with local emerging artists and education providers.
The mural costs were supported by the NHS trust build budget for the new hospital building and the arts manager role is funded by University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity.
