Jersey artist Jenna Stuchfield paints mural on maternity ward

An artist has gifted her time to Jersey General Hospital by painting a mural in its maternity ward free of charge.

Jenna Stuchfield took to Facebook to ask members of a local group where deserved a free mural, with the majority championing the hospital.

The artwork is themed on St Ouen’s Bay and shows a mother and baby rabbit nesting beneath a sunset.

Ms Stuchfield said: “I wanted it to represent family and I wanted it to represent Jersey.”

She added: “I feel like it’s quite cosy and I wanted people to walk past it and feel warm and feel love from the painting.”

The Jersey artist said she now plans to paint the children’s emergency department and the antenatal ward.
