I can’t wait for all the events in July! Things are really coming together and I am excited that people are taking note. If everyone will just tell one more person about what we are doing…where the website is…and buy some art – we will be touching sooooo many lives.
Thanks to Lynette for her tremendous dedication in seeing this vision come to reality…many years, tears and fears! Great job!

I think the cards turned out wonderful! thanks to Dynagraphic printing here in Reno who printed them for us at their non profit rate.
What a good deal on these cards. $12 for one set or 2 for $20. I need to buy some more for myself!!

I was wondering if it was possible to get someone into the classes at the Arbors without them being a resident? My mother has moderate dementia from mini-strokes and use to paint a lot. She hasn’t done any in at least twenty years but still has her easel and and tool box full of dried up paint and brushes. I would love to see her get back into creating art. We have 5 or 6 of her oils and one water color hanging in the house. Her favorite hangs over her bed, it is a sofa size oil of the Atmospherium Planetarium that she painted shortly after they built it.

Eloise, so thrilled you were inspired! If you need help or additional suggestions please do not hesitate to contact me personally and I will walk you through the techniques. I was actually inspired by 3 little children I was trying to entertain on a rainy day back in 1985. They were actually 5 or 6 years old and I was desperate for an idea. I emptied my cosmetic drawer (after removing the good stuff of course) on to a tray, put it in the middle of the table and gave everyone paper. They didn’t stop “creating” for 3 hours!! An idea was born and everyone was happy. I wish you the best of luck Eloise and thank you for your lovely comments. Lynette Schweigert

I just returned home (Omaha, Nebraska) from a trip to Reno and just had to send a note of thanks for your inspirational art display at the airport.

My daughter has severe alcohol dementia and has the capacity of a six year old child. She spends hours coloring, trying to stay within the lines of her coloring book. I am her primary caregiver and am 83 years young. Even with my experience as a lifelong school teacher, her limitations are a challenge for me and I am always looking for ways to expand her abilities. After seeing your art display, I am anxious to integrate some of your techniques. I am grateful that I found your Alzheimer’s Moments of Memory. Even though my daughter does not have Alzheimer’s, I’m hopeful that we can benefit from trying your ideas. Thank you.
