"Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God's spirit? It is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts."

       Florida Artist Joanelle Mulrain celebrates the life and times of Florence Nightingale (b 12 May 1820; d 13 August 1910), a global pioneer of nursing, Crimean war heroine, feminist, and known to many as the founder of modern nursing. Her suite includes six painting/collages depict the inspirational moments and points of light during of Miss Nightingale’s life of service and the times she lived in; two narrative canvases that feature quotes, including the 1857 poem, “Santa Filomena”, dedicated to her by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; and a portrait of young Florence as she became a legend in her own time.
