Jane is a new resident at the Mansion, I am just getting to know her. She was excited to work on some art for the Mansion Art Show, she told me today it changed her life,  and she didn’t have words to say how excited she is about learning how to do art.

I have seen this before, Jane’s creative spark was lit, and I can see there is an artist in there and it wants to come out. I’ve given Jane some art books and seen her sketches, and so has Maria.

The Mansion staff says this work has brought Jane to life and transformed her, she needs a wheelchair to move around and cannot hear, she communicates through lip reading. She is extremely intelligent and looking for ways to enhance her creativity. She said she is going to paint the tulip.

I am excited to know her better and support her creativity. She has a good pile of books to read. If you wish to writer her, you can do so c/o Jane, The Mansion, 11 S. Union Street, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.
