With Abilis and Abilis’ day programs, as well as creating for Abilis Gardens & Gifts, Barbara has been able to nature her artistic talents. She is now 60 years old and spends her days with the Abilis senior program where she is out in the community and also has time to devote to painting and knitting, two of her favorite pastimes.
