Artist Curtis Hylton has rolled up his sleeves today to start work creating three large murals on the walls of the MRU and Radiotherapy Unit at Hereford County Hospital.

The nature-inspired murals will appear over the course of the next couple of weeks.

Locals will recognise Curtis’ style as he is the artist behind the Herdsman pub mural.

The new artwork celebrates Herefordshire’s natural beauty, and will feature apple blossoms, robins, kingfishers, and woodpeckers.

Funding for the mural is generously provided by donations to the Oncology Trust Fund, which supports enhancements that benefit patients and staff, beyond essential service delivery needs.

Passers-by wanting to watch progress will be welcome to pop by during the next couple of weeks.

Curtis is pictured outside the buildings this morning along with an artists impression of what one of the three walls will look like.
