See Mom in Yves Wilson’s trailer

Stackings : Art & Alzheimer’s (Rough Trailer) from Yves Wilson on Vimeo.

How it all began

This was Mom’s first stacking, spotted by my significant other, Jim about two years ago.

This year, we actually entered her into a juried art competition at Housatonic Community College. She won best in show!

Now, she’s part of the “Memory” show at the Westport Arts Center.

Could this be the beginning of an art career?
