Combest Community Health & Wellness 
Center Mosaics

    The Larry Combest Health and Wellness Center

This artwork is comprised of four separate mosaic panels which 
create a narrative that celebrates the Combest Center and its 
surrounding community, patient care, and education. Also 
included are specific people, places, activities, and events that 
are meaningful to the community. The composition is organized 
by the “Kaleidoscope Quilt Pattern,” which creates an overall 
geometry of centered compositions that overlap each other 
and weave vibrant colors into facets of the design. The bottom 
border of each piece was created by volunteer members of the 
community using traditional Texas quilt patterns.
