Description

Arlisa Rayford “Sandra Bland” Laguna Honda Hospital and Rehabilitation Center Arlisa has always wanted to paint. She remembers doing art in the first grade. “Art makes you feel happy,” she says. She likes to have people see her art and is thrilled to have one of her paintings in this show. Arlisa’s family is from Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Although she moved to San Francisco at age five, she has joyful memories of visiting her cousins there every summer. Thinking of those good times makes her laugh. She loved being in the country, running through sunny fields and into the woods, finding mysterious bugs and other creatures. She also loved going back to school in the fall and using country words like “vitals” to make her friends giggle. Arlisa loves San Francisco and raised her three sons here. Jesus is a “big part” of her life. She credits Him for saving the lives of her children during difficult times. ART WITH ELDERS 2019 27th Annual Art With Elders Exhibit
