THE TASK
Spielman was one of many artists selected to be featured in the new Sanford Medical Center in South Fargo. She had previously collaborated with the healthcare provider to create an award-winning coffee-table book in 2012. This time, Spielman was asked to create whimsical artwork for the Family Birth Center that would take patients' minds off of being in the hospital. She then came up with two concepts that led to the creation of "Nature Baby Project" and "Nature Still Life Study."

SPIELMAN'S "NATURE BABY PROJECT"
The "Nature Baby Project" includes 38 images of infants in nature-inspired still life scenes and a nursery in the forest. Sanford Medical Center requested that Spielman feature babies of Birth Center employees. "I didn't start until October, so I had to hunt and gather. I was chasing leaves in the street," Spielman laughed.
