Alberta Children’s Hospital Recognition Gift “Dr. Bear”
The Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary Alberta commissioned Carole to make a presentation plaque to be used as as a recognition gift to those who have served the hospital in some way. To be cast in “cold cast bronze”, they are mounted on a walnut plaque which will hold an engraved tag with recipient’s contribution thereon. The image contains, in low-relief, a teddy bear wearing a cowboy hat and holding a stethescope. The largest element, the bear , represents the children, the hat represents the support and shelter of the City and University of Calgary and the stethoscope represents the staff. The bolo tie which bears the logo of the hospital echos the families and the “ties that bind”. The image is framed with a “hand-tooled” rope border. Having been involved with the hospital from the blue print stage, Carole and Rick have contributed many artworks to the Alberta Children’s Hospital and to the Flames House Hospice with the hope that they make the environments a nicer place to be.

"Play" ACH Annual Clinician Educator Award by Carole Danyluk
"Discover" ACH Annual Community Paediatrician Award, by Carole Danyluk
"Sing" ACH Humanitarian of the Year Award, by Carole Danyluk
After several successful projects with the Alberta Children’s Hospital, the artist was called upon to create the artwork for the Doctors’ Awards and Recognition Program. These four oval cherry wood plaques contain the names of the ongoing award recipients for the hospitals “Humanitarian Award, Clinician/Educator Award, Community Paediatritian Award and Academic Leadership Award. The awards display also contains four bronze relief wildlife sculptures. The positioning of the animals: coyote in the north, bald eagle in the south, bison in the east and grizzly in the west echos the theme of the life-size sculptures in the main lobby of the hospital by Carole Danyluk and Rick Taylor . Combined with the wildlife “way-finding” symbols throughout the building designed by the same artists this theme has created continuity that is both comforting and convenient for the patients and families.
