This is a painting from a series of paintings I did about my father, a jazz musician, who died from dementia. Throughout the series, I use the elephant as a symbol for dementia. The background text reads, "and in his later years,a second childhood found him, he forgot that he had forgotten." While the early years of the disease were hard because my dad knew he was slipping, eventually he declined to the point where he was no longer aware of it. It was still hard for US, but HE had moved into a stage of just being.

Thanks ladies. The dementia was certainly a tough journey, but art helped get me through it, as did writing.

Your work is so touching and fascinating and I adore your amazing way to share those precious memories about your dad with the world . The pieces of the text here bring tears to my eyes as they remind my my grandma who suffered from Alzheimer's .
Emily Page replied:
Sorry to hear about your grandmother. I sometimes wonder if there's anyone in the world untouched by dementia.
