some people age and begin to lose cognitive abilities, they start to express previously hidden artistic talents
brains store everything we have seen and remembered for just such a momen

Antero and Adam..
writing reading is art... just one form of the art of communication
led to the theory that, in the healthy brain, one part of the brain "suppresses" or is dominant over another part of the brain. In this case, the gentleman had musical abilities that were suppressed by another part of his brain. When the dominant part of the brain deteriorated, the "musical part" was released to express itself. The same theory may hold true for artists like Lester Potts, who started to paint after losing his verbal abilities. Alternative channels of communication have opened. Dementia patients' artwork reveals the ability to communicate in people who were previously thought to lack even self-awarenes
In memory of her mother Hilda (Hilgos) Gorenstein, Berna founded the Hilgos Foundation, which provides grants to art students who work with Alzheimer's patients.

Flynn uses herself as an example: She finds she's way more productive working from home--she can protect her time there--and when she heads to Grand Rapids she can throw herself into "we" activities.
