Art Frees the Mind!


The artist John Updike once suggested, “What art offers is space – a certain breathing room for the spirit.” And this space is exactly what some of the ladies of Serenity needed as we made craft projects today. About seven ladies from Serenity painted a few small clay pots which were then strung up and made into wind chimes. The bright colors certainly cheered all of us up and we had a great time chatting, laughing and painting. When the pots were finally dry we had enough beautiful pieces to make four wind chimes which will be hung around Serenity to be enjoyed throughout the summer months… But that is only if our RN, Jodi, doesn’t decide to borrow one! Once Jodi discovered what we were up to, she slyly hinted that she would really like one of the completed wind chimes. So we had better all keep an eye on Jodi or she just might take one!

Take a look above at Claryce, Henrietta and Arlene T. as they paint a few of the beautiful pots! Below is a group shot of the whole gang finishing up their projects.
