I was contacted earlier this week by The Rev. Dcn. Donna Purkis, clergy to The Bob Rumball Home for the Deaf in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. She was excited to share with me about a current resident and his passion for creating visual art. She asked if it would be possible to share some of his work with our diocese. I am quite excited to introduce you to Adam!
This is Adam, age 89, and a Deaf Resident at the Home. He took four years of Art School in Glasgow, Scotland. Adam has been drawing for approximately 75 years and is pictured above with his composition of Jesus being baptized in the river Jordan. He is currently working on a drawing of the Last Supper which should be ready before Easter.
If anyone would like to send an email or letter to Adam about his drawing, it can be done through Jessica Oickle-Lemieux, Programs Coordinator at the Bob Rumball Home for the Deaf, at joickle@bobrumball.org. He would love to hear from you!
