A Breath of Color at the Door: Dan Fenelon’s New Mural Brightens a Voorhees Therapy Office

Mural Unveils a New Welcome at the Practice

New Jersey Therapy and Life Coaching has unveiled an original mural by Dan Fenelon at its Voorhees office, turning a small entryway into a bright, welcoming moment for every visitor. Instead of plain paint and a reception desk, clients now step into a sweeping wall painting that shifts the mood from anxious to calm. The change is both practical and symbolic: an everyday doorway now signals care, attention and creativity.

The mural was installed as part of a recent refresh of the practice’s space. Staff say the work was chosen to make the clinic feel more human and less clinical. For a town where local art can be rare in medical or counseling settings, the mural serves as a small but visible quality-of-life upgrade for patients, families and nearby residents.

A Vivid, Immersive Work: What You See and How It Was Made

Fenelon’s piece fills the entry wall and wraps slightly around the nearby corner, creating a near-immersive scene that greets people as they arrive. The composition mixes large, flowing shapes with smaller, hand-painted details. Viewers will notice layered fields of color, simple figurative hints and botanical touches that suggest growth and motion without being literal.

The palette leans on warm, calming tones—soft blues, muted greens and gentle warm accents—that contrast with a few brighter highlights. The surface shows visible brushwork and some thin washes, giving a tactile, handmade quality. The mural was painted directly on the wall with long-lasting paints chosen for indoor public spaces; lighting was adjusted to keep the colors steady across different times of day. Together these choices make the piece feel like part of the building rather than an add-on.

About Dan Fenelon: The Artist Behind the Piece

Dan Fenelon is an established contemporary artist known for large-scale, colorful murals and accessible public work. His pieces often blend simple human figures, nature-inspired motifs and bold color blocks so they are easy to read at a glance yet rewarding on closer look. Fenelon has exhibited in galleries and completed public commissions that brought his style to civic spaces and private businesses.

The practice’s leaders said they picked Fenelon because his work balances friendliness with a quiet dignity—an approach that fits a counseling and life-coaching environment. In short, his murals aim to welcome rather than to overwhelm, and that balance is what the practice wanted for patients who walk in feeling vulnerable.

How the Image Calms First Steps and Draws Neighbors’ Eyes

Staff and early visitors describe the new wall as immediately disarming. People report pausing at the door, letting the colors settle them before a session. For therapists and coaches, the image provides a neutral, gentle focal point that can ease first moments of conversation.

Neighbors and passersby have also noticed the change. In a neighborhood where storefronts tend to be plain, the mural reads as a small public gift—a reminder that thoughtful design can improve everyday places. For the practice brand, the art helps set expectations: this is a place that pays attention to comfort and detail.

Seeing the Work and Next Steps for Prints or Commissions

The mural is on display at New Jersey Therapy and Life Coaching’s Voorhees office during regular business hours; viewing is generally possible by appointment or during scheduled sessions. The practice handles inquiries about the commission, prints or future events related to the mural directly. Those interested in seeing the work or in commissioning a similar project can contact the office by phone or email for current visiting information and availability of reproductions.
