Milestones, Recognizing The Artist
Within is the February exhibit at the
PlymouthCommunityArts Council.
The artwork was created at the
University of Michigan CS Mott
Milestones' Pediatric Rehabilitation
Program. Each artist engaged in art-mak-
ing during the recovery phases from an
illness or injury. These artists worked
with an art therapist in the creation of the
works.
The exhibit continues through Feb. 26.
Gallery hours are 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Monday-Thursday, during public events
andby appointment.
The gallery is located at 774 N.
SheldonRoad inPlymouth.
Executive Director Lisa Howard said,
“I first became aware of this amazing pro-
gram during our Miracles Among Us
exhibit last March which highlighted the
work of many organizations that support
athletes and artistswith special needs.”
“Part of the exhibit was a beautiful col-
lection of photographs brought to us by
the Lindlbauer family that their son,
Jesse, had created during his art classes
at Milestones. You might recall that the
Canton High School student suffered
braindamage froma severe infection.
“I knew right then that I wanted to
have another exhibit to showmore of this
work and bring awareness to the impor-
tance of Art Therapy. There are three
components to the full-circle art
process...deciding how to express oneself,
the actual execution and then the presen-
tation of the work to some kind of audi-
ence.
“The third part of this is especially
important for those recovering from any
kind of traumatic experience,” she
added.
Art Therapist Shannon Miller-Scott
said, “Art-making is an amazing process
that can provide healing on many levels.
As each person faces their own chal-
lenges, art can reach beyond current cir-
cumstance to help each individual under-
stand and achieve their true strength.”

it, call (734) 416-4278.
