Vineyard Place, a memory care community in Murrieta, will display the art of resident Gail Taylor 10 a.m.-noon Wednesday, Sept. 11.
Taylor, 83, is known for her work depicting leaves in copper and other metals. Those artworks were made by dipping leaves in various acids and placing them on copper. These images were etched, leaving a one-of-a-kind leaf image. Some of the leaves are embellished with soldering, wire and various mixed-media images.
Taylor’s works have been featured in books and have hung in various hospitals and hotels across the country, according to a news release from Vineyard Place.
Although dementia has changed the way she creates art, Taylor continues her artistry in different ways such as coloring and crafting at Vineyard Place.
“Expressing themselves in meaningful ways is vital for those with memory impairment, and art is a powerful way to do so,” Christopher Balmes, life engagement director for Vineyard Place, said in the news release. “This will be a celebration of her passion and talent, and not her limitations.”
The event is free and open to the public.
Vineyard Place, at 24325 Washington Ave., Murrieta, is one of the memory care communities operated by Anthem Memory Care in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
