Bringing Unique Visions to Life
Full time Artist-in-Residence, Betty Rothaus, MFA, offers
residents individual guidance in bringing their unique vision to
life. Within a beautiful fine arts studio, residents who have
never created art before, as well as experienced artists, enjoy
learning new skills and expressing themselves through drawing,
painting in oil, acrylic, pastels or watercolor,
sculpting/pottery in clay, collage, textiles, jewelry and/or
mixed media. Exhibitions each year provide a joyous sharing of
our residents’ accomplishments with the entire community.

The Transformative Benefits of The Reutlinger Art Program
As we age, the importance of mental, emotional, and social
well-being becomes increasingly vital. One effective way to
enhance these aspects of life for seniors is through
participation in art programs. Engaging in The Reutlinger’s Art
Program offers a wealth of benefits that positively impact
residents’ lives.
Art encourages creativity and critical thinking, helping to
improve memory and problem-solving skills, which can combat
cognitive decline.
-
Emotional Expression and Healing
Creating art provides a therapeutic outlet for emotions, aiding
in healing and resilience, especially for those facing loss or
loneliness.
Group art activities foster community and friendship, reducing
feelings of isolation and enhancing emotional health.
-
Enhancing Fine Motor Skills
Engaging in artistic activities helps maintain and improve
dexterity and coordination, promoting independence in daily
tasks.
Completing art projects boosts self-esteem and confidence,
reinforcing the value of creative contributions.

encouraging a meditative focus on the creative process.
