"Sometimes life gives us an opportunity to transform painful events into empowering ones. Art4Life was born out of some of the saddest moments of my life.
My mother, who was the biggest inspiration of my life, passed away in May 2017. Watching her health journey, especially the rapid decline due to dementia in the last year of her life was extremely difficult. It was when I was reading about research and work being done related to aging and dementia, that I stumbled upon the concept of Creative Aging.
Starting in 2017 and to date, I have been immersed in understanding and continue to learn more about this field.
Art4Life is the outcome of being a witness to my mother's health journey."
