The arts bring SOUNDNESS OF MIND AND BODY through…

Self-Expression
Surprises

Social Time
“What if we softened the edges of a system that confines…with zealous caring? What if we rounded the corners of compartmentalization…with spontaneous activity? My heart’s desire is to see the spirit of the arts alive and well with our geriatric population. I have found personal fulfillment through free expression. Now, I am passing it on to others.”
