Bemidji artist Maureen O Brien was the kind of person who would go above and beyond for her community. When commissioned to paint a mural at the former M Health Fairview children s wing, where children would go for chemotherapy, she painted all kinds of animals bears, raccoons, ducks, loons and butterflies. But even after the mural was finished, O Brien would go to the hospital periodically and add new animals so the children who were there long-term would have something new to find.
