Good Samaritan Showcases Waterfield Photography Exhibit

CHI Health Good Samaritan welcomes Nebraska artist Doug Waterfield to its Walkway Gallery. His paintings will be on display through November 2024.

Waterfield, a Professor of Art at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, has a diverse artistic style, with some of his works being an impressionist version of naturalism, while others are abstract with a mid-century influence. He draws inspiration from a wide range of sources, including art history, pop culture, the natural world and personal experience. Waterfield’s work is often characterized by intricate details and bold use of color, which he uses to convey a range of emotions and ideas.

“I prefer to work in oil because it’s very forgiving and allows a lot of work time. I can leave things for a day or two and allow ideas to develop, or “ferment” as I say.  With this approach, I sometimes come back and wipe an entire painting away to start over, which is fine. It’s only paint. I think art should be fun and enjoyable, and that’s what I have attempted to make,” says Waterfield.

The gallery at Good Samaritan has provided a respite to those walking the hospital’s halls since 2008.
