Artists display works to brighten West Shore Laylum care home

Resident Margaret Robb's paintings provide inspiration for art program

The atmosphere at West Shore Laylum care home in Ladner was festive as friends and family gathered to celebrate the work of local artists Margaret Robb, Peggy Stevens and Johanna Krawchuk.

The dining room was transformed into a gallery setting with paintings filling the room and brightly coloured decorations adorning the space.

"Margaret's art is the inspiration for our new creative arts program at West Shore Laylum," says recreation supervisor Jackie Berg.

"When I saw the many beautiful paintings she has done, it inspired me to develop the creative arts program. And that inspiration has since extended to our outdoor garden, where we're finding creative ways to get residents involved in further enhancing our lovely flowering garden area."

In addition to the art showing, Robb, a resident at West Shore Laylum, donated a cactus flower print to be raffled off to raise funds for the care home.

The afternoon art show, which took place June 24, was enjoyed by residents and staff members, who generously provided some delicious food and refreshments.

Raffle tickets are available at West Shore Laylum until July 22.
