Bed-bound artist with dementia says art sets her free

1576933-2150WASHINGTON, D.C.: An artist virtually bed-bound with dementia, who has found art sets her free, is taking part in an art exhibition designed to challenge public perceptions about older age and dementia.

Golden Gallery Art & Soul is a collection of paintings, sculpture and textiles created by residents from The Abbeyfield Society’s skilled nursing homes. The pioneering exhibition is at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery and will then be touring the UK.
