A Piece of Clarissa's Joy
Our hospice patient, Clarissa, had an adventurous life, and joy for her came in the form of making paintings with Harbor Hospice art therapist Amy Hamman. They worked together using watercolors, colored pencils, and oil and chalk pastels. Sometimes, they made tiny acrylic paintings just four inches square. At Clarissa’s funeral, her paintings were displayed and her family members offered a painting to anyone “who wanted a piece of Clarissa’s joy.” Each painting got a new home.
