On Sunday, February 1st, I had the privilege of attending a photographers’ reception and guided tour at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, celebrating the Ohio’s 88 Counties photography installation. It was one of those experiences that leaves you feeling both proud and deeply appreciative to be part of something larger than yourself.
The new University Hospital has been thoughtfully designed to feel welcoming, comforting, and connected to the people it serves. Throughout the inpatient corridors, More then 600 photographs from nearly 100 photographers represent all 88 counties — a visual story of our state told through farms, lakes, covered bridges, murals, small towns, and quiet natural moments. Each floor features a map of Ohio identifying the counties and photographers on display, reinforcing the idea that every corner of our state has a story worth sharing.
This remarkable project was created, designed, and led by Adrian Boysel, Associate Director of Interior Design Planning at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, along with her talented team including Gina Jones and Megan Cavanaugh. Their vision and dedication brought together an extraordinary collection that reflects Ohio’s beauty, character, and community spirit in a meaningful and lasting way.
Seeing my own photographs installed alongside so many talented photographers — some of whom I’m proud to call friends — was incredibly rewarding. Walking the halls, recognizing familiar names, sharing stories behind the images, and connecting with fellow artists made the experience even more special. It was a reminder of how strong, supportive, and inspiring Ohio’s photography community truly is.
What makes this project especially meaningful is knowing these photographs will be seen by patients, families, and staff every day — offering moments of familiarity, comfort, and connection to places they know and love across Ohio.
I’m truly grateful to have been included in this installation and thankful to everyone who helped bring it to life. It’s an honor to have my work represented as part of this statewide visual story.
