Lester’s Legacy Store
Lester Potts’ Art Now Available on LestersLegacy.com
The watercolor art of Lester E. Potts, Jr., an artist with Alzheimer’s disease, is now available for purchase at http://www.lesterslegacy.com/.
Lester, a rural Alabama saw miller, had never painted until after the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. Lester’s newly-found creativity improved his quality of life and had many other benefits. His art has been shown from Beverly Hills to Paris, has been the subject of research, and appears in articles, textbooks, devotional books and documentaries.
Lester’s art has been used as a tool of engagement and reminiscence between care givers and persons with dementia.
Prints of Lester’s art are available in different sizes on the http://www.lesterslegacy.com/website. In addition, 5 styles of greeting cards are available, with short verses composed by Daniel C. Potts, MD, FAAN on the back covers of each.
If you are not interested in purchasing, you may simply peruse the beautiful art that appears on the page.
