Eleven paintings have been selected by the Hospital Arts Committee.
Chair of Mudgee Health Council, John Bentley, said the works will be an asset to the location.
"Our community is very fortunate to have this fine donation of paintings from an artist whose work is represented throughout and beyond Australia. This generous contribution will be seen by visitors and staff alike" Mr Bentley said.

He added that this came together in part thanks to a local collection, Gora Singh Mann whose own collection has adorned the walls of local public buildings at various times over the years.
"The support of Gora Singh Mann, Mudgee's noteable local art collector and philanthropist, must also be acknowledged. His friendship with David made it all possible," Mr Bentley said.
The hanging of the paintings is planned for the near future, when COVID restrictions ease.
