Healing Hearts at Edgemoor Art Exhibit April – June 2013

Dr. William C. Herrick Community Health Care Library Spring Art Exhibit-Healing Hearts at Edgemoor Healing Hearts at Edgemoor Healing Hearts is an art therapy approach, developed by artist/educator Linda Bounds, whose insights have benefited thousands of people at organizations nationwide. The program began in 2007 at Edgemoor, a County-run skilled nursing facility. Edgemoor exists to help the residents of San Diego who are severely and chronically ill and have nowhere else to go. Patients range in age from 19-90 and live with neurological diseases and other incapacitating illnesses. Art may be in the eye of the beholder, but it is definitely in the eyes, hearts, hands, even mouths of many of the patients. The Healing Hearts at Edgemoor art therapy program has helped its patients transcend severe impairment, disability, and isolation. They have become a community of artists. Many of the paintings were created in a collaborative group effort by over 30 artists. A sampling of the artwork completed by the patients at Edgemoor, located in Santee, CA, will be on display at the Herrick Library until June 22, 2013. Be sure to stop by and see the amazing artwork that has been accomplished by these artists. To find out more, visit: www.healingheartsart.org
