Caregivers Artbox

04/30/2026

Hi friends,

I wanted to share a quick update. I’m streamlining where I post as I continue building out Caregiver’s Artbox lessons and supporting activity staff.
Because of that, I won’t be posting regularly here.
If you’d like to keep up with my art, lessons, and the work I’m doing in senior living communities, I’d love for you to follow along over on my Artwork by Julie Mader page:

Thank you for being part of this space — it truly means a lot.

You are invited to see the smiles of pride, view original artwork and learn how the art was made directly from the artists. Join me at Guy and Mary Felt Manor this Saturday (12/06/25) from 2-4 to honor the Art Peeps of Emporium.

Its heart-warming to see adaptive art tools becoming more readily available to the general public. I came across this brilliant paintbrush holder tonight. Thank you eNasco!

The origami cat and dog made at the PAPA (Pennsylvania Activity Professional Association) are fantastic! 🐈🐕 If anyone is looking for another paper folding project for their care-partners I have one for you - turn multiple folded "kite" shapes into a kaleidoscope themed project. The kaleidoscope craze of the Victorian Era is a terrific tie-in to investigate and inspire the project. If anyone would like details please DM me.

Guys and Mary Felt Manor artists used their Tuesday class experience of mixing and shades to paint a landscape. I'm so proud of all the artists- Didn't they do a fabulous job?!

Artists at Guy and Mary Felt Manor are mixing colors to gain an understanding of Tints and Shades of a hue. We even have an artsy rhyme to explain the terms 😊

Participants at Ridgway Senior Junction celebrated the famed "Elkers" and the PA Wilds with painted paper and collage. Many thanks to ECCOTA for their support!

Art made simpler, but not simple is a heart-led mantra for these lifetime learners at Bradford Ecumenical Home. Projects are age appropriate, encourage socialization and have a heavy helping of self-expression.
