Art Comforts Woman with Alzheimer's
This is a wonderful article about Dorothy Bowman, an artist who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2000. Bowman was a professional artist who began painting as a girl. She still paints. "Painting makes me feel good," Bowman said. "I feel more calm." http://www.thecalifornian.com/article/20100226/LIFESTYLE/2260328/Artistic-talent-shines-through-cloud-Alzheimer-s

An Environmentally Concerned Artist
Steven Rodrig, "Dragonfly Waiting To Transfer Data". Artwork is copyright protected by the artist. All rights reserved. Do not copy image without the artist's permission.
Steven Rodrig, http://www.pcbcreations.com, is an artist living in New Jersey. His innovative sculpture, which he refers to as “PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Mixed Media”, is created from recycling and restructuring circuit boards and electronic parts.
Steven’s subjects range from insects, flowers and still life to intricate cityscapes. In response to our environmental concerns Steven’s computer parts, otherwise destined for the landfills, are now the components of sculpture that conveys an important message.
Steven states, “It seemed a waste to me to have these individually perfect pieces discarded.” Steven has received tremendous support and publicity on the Internet for his work. The "Green" community appreciates Steven's interest in keeping all of these discarded electronic components out of our landfills which would stay there for many generations.
