We’re excited to share that Artfully Aging, LLC has been featured in an article in the current issue of #Kiplinger #Retirement #Report, Kiplinger! The article is about getting your creative juices flowing! Imagine that!! Below is a snippet … “Mary Beth Flynn, founder of Artfully Aging, is a former caregiver who saw the need to bring engaging activities to older adults. “I had a desire to make a difference in people’s lives and use my art skills to do it.” Her original target market was senior living communities, but the business has branched out and offers supplies and video tutorials to anyone, from those in a nursing home to groups of neighbors who get together and enjoy painting. Caregivers help clients and neighbors help neighbors, Flynn says. “I am helping people experience what it is like to be the artist they already are.” You can read the entire article here ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gGcfNgYc Thank you Yvette C.

How to Use Art in Aging and Dementia Caregiving With Mary Beth Flynn Caregiving in dementia is often discussed in terms of challenges and solutions. But have you considered the role of art in this journey? This episode brings a fresh perspective on using art to deepen connections with those living with dementia. Artfully Aging is a watercolor art program designed for seniors of all skill and care levels. Locally, in St. Louis, Artfully Aging offers live in person watercolor sessions in senior living communities as well as a variety of community settings. In addition to the live art sessions they offer seniors and senior organizations across the US the ability to order from a menu of projects on their website. This second option includes prepared ready to paint watercolor projects with access to accompanying "How To" videos shipped to seniors and/or their caregivers or activity staff. The holistic approach makes each art session meaningful and therapeutic. Give Away: Artfully Aging will give away (4) separate packets of (5) ready to paint watercolor projects (of their choosing) to the first four individuals who email in their request to support@artfullyaging.com #seniorcare #dementia #creativitymatters #caregiving https://lnkd.in/guprBAUN
