The Wesbury Foundation's newly released "A Creative Life…: Showcasing the Talents of Wesbury Residents" is a captivating gallery of golden-year artistic passions.
"A Creative Life…: Showcasing the Talents of Wesbury Residents" from Christian Faith Publishing author The Wesbury Foundation is a strikingly beautiful photographic exhibit of the exquisite and inspired handiwork of Wesbury residents: from handmade jewelry and oil and watercolor paintings, to needlework, patchwork, quilting, and knitting, and even handcrafted musical instruments, performance art, literature, and animal pelts.
Meadville, PA, March 04, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "A Creative Life…: Showcasing the Talents of Wesbury Residents": a dazzling compendium of arts and crafts, is the creation of The Wesbury Foundation of the Wesbury United Methodist Community, a nonprofit Christian continuing care retirement community serving residents in Meadville, Pennsylvania, and surrounding areas.
The Wesbury Foundation writes, "The 101-year-old marathon runner. The 76-year-old mountain climber. The 87-year-old sushi chef. The 95-year-old college graduate. These are all just a few examples of older adults who continued to pursue their passions well into their golden years.
"Wesbury United Methodist Community is using a vibrant and creative arts program to tap into the passions and talents of its residents. The artistic abilities of those living in retirement communities are often overlooked and opportunities for older adults to be viewed as creators and gifted artists are few and far between. Residents of Wesbury have proven that the obstacles can be overcome for artists who are trying to recapture their passion or for those who have found their calling later in life.
"The gallery of artwork in this collection is an amazing and beautiful tribute to the Wesbury residents and their artistic expression. Wesbury believes in an art-infused, abundant life for the residents who reside on campus and provides many opportunities for creative expression regardless of age through formal and informal activities. One incredible artwork at a time, the collections in this book are changing stereotypes about aging and attitudes about the artistic abilities of seniors in retirement communities."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, The Wesbury Foundation's new book, complete with concise biographies of the artists, is an elating and worthwhile collection for lovers of both art and of people whose very being is often a work of art in itself.
Proceeds from the sales of this book will support Wesbury's Benevolent Care Fund, which supports those residents who have outlived their financial resources ensuring that they will always be cared for and will always have a place to call home.
