“I didn’t know I could do what I’ve done!”

Conversations with our Artists…

During Artown in July of 2010 I  took the artists on a tour of the Art from the Heart of Alzheimer’s Artists gallery to gain their perception of the art they had created…this is what they had to say:

J.  “It’s amazing that we can do this and not remember doing it…it’s beautiful, it looks like the real thing…Oh, my God…that’s mine? I’ve never done anything like this in my life!…I didn’t know I could do what I’ve done…(tears)”

R. “The lavender one is my favorite…I love painting!”

B. “Wow, did I do that?..Wow, it’s beautiful!…that’s amazing really, it’s so pretty in the frame…I have to admit…that’s nice!”

E. “No, I didn’t do that, it’s too pretty….I did!?! Well, it does have my name on it!”

T. “I’ll paint anything she tells me to paint, I don’t know how I do it …this is my favorite (smiling)”
