Abstract work created by Pine Grove Learning Center students and Artist Pamela Alderman, with the generous contribution of Frames Unlimited.
To my surprise, special-education teacher Anne Aurand, my neighbor, left a bag in my mailbox filled with beautiful handprints painted by the profoundly challenged students from Pine Grove Learning Center. While spreading the creative treasures across my studio floor, I had a strong sense of the value of each precious student. I wanted to take my time to find a special idea of how to honor each student. A month later, as I arranged the handprints, an abstract butterfly shape emerged. This incredible piece portrays the physical gesture of open hands lifting each student on Wings of Hope.
