Today is National Inspire Your Heart with Art Day!
We wanted to share the art around the office that inspired Body in Motion to adopt the brand of "Professional Recreationalist" Definition: one who prioritizes the quest for recreation, especially in the outdoors, through the pursuit of hobbies and other interests which bring them enjoyment and overall improved health and well being.
The first two art pieces will greet you as you enter our office:
1. The first large painting of two bright green trees was created by Dr. Dukes' good friend Mark, right around when he retired and began doing art shows. This painting was done about 9 months before our Park Hill space opened, and Dr. Dukes made him hold it for the space, because he knew it would be awesome there!
2. The next side by side photo in the lobby is of Dr. Dukes fly fishing. Fly fishing is his therapy! He doesn’t get out as much as he used to, but still enjoys his time on the water when he gets it.
The Body in Motion gym space includes:
3. A photo of Dr. Dukes looking out over Iceland and this photo was the kickstart to the branding decision. This picture was taken in 2014, around the time we started thinking through the rebrand to the clinic, focusing on the recreationalist, which became the focus of what we do at the clinic. We want patients to have bodies that can handle whatever comes at them.
4. The cute polar bear photo was admired by Dr. Dukes on a trip to Portland, Oregon with his wife, and then later gifted to him on Valentine's Day. They were walking around downtown in the rain and they walked by a gallery with it out front. The bear seems so curious and friendly. Bears have alway been one of Dr. Dukes' favorite animals, so powerful and majestic.
In Dr. Dukes treatment room you will be welcomed by:
5. A painting of snowscene of pine trees painted by Mark. Mark is very talented, but these are his bread and butter. Dr. Dukes has been lucky enough to spend a lot of his time outdoors and skiing/snowboarding has always been something he enjoys with friends and family.
6. Next, the black and white abstract painting was created by Dr. Dukes and his son during covid, they had a fun experience collaborating with Mark on this piece.
7. The last photos in Dr. Dukes' treatment room are in the double paned frame including pictures of Dr. Dukes fishing trip with friends. These pictures were taken in 2008 right after he graduated from chiropractic school. During school they would get breaks between quarters and a group of friends started doing camping and fly fishing trips in Oregon, Montana and Colorado/Wyoming. Wonderful trips with great friends. The pictures are of the Platte River in Wyoming and the Snowy Range.
Dr. Aring's treatment room features:
8. A cool painting which reminded Dr. Dukes of Hanging Lake in Colorado.
9. The panoramic photo was taken by Dr. Aring himself at Lake Dillon during Sunrise with his one and a half year old at the time, while the rest of the family got some more sleep in the tent. That morning his son used his coffee kit for sand toys. They are a family from the Great Lakes, so Lake Dillon has been special to them.
10. Credit for the last summer landscape painting also goes to Mark, and was gifted to Dr. Dukes last year.
Come by our office to see the art that inspires our hearts for yourself, and experience the treatment and care to keep your body feeling it's best so you can also live out your best life as a professional recreationalist.
