WILMINGTON, Del. – Pauline Galante, a resident of Rockland Place, has been selected from hundreds of artists around the U.S. to be featured in Expressions 2018, a full-color wall calendar celebrating active aging and the arts. The inspiring calendar, now in its 18th edition, showcases paintings, sculptures, quilts, ceramics and other creations submitted by artists, both amateur and professional, who reside at more than 50 Watermark retirement communities nationwide.
“Art is an ageless form of self expression, and we’re thrilled to be able to share the beautiful artwork of 36 of our talented residents in this year’s calendar,” said David Barnes, president and CEO of Watermark Retirement Communities. “Personally, I find their life stories every bit as inspiring as their art.”
A native of South Philadelphia, Galante moved to Rockland Place in 2016. In addition to visits with her family and spending time with friends on the outdoor patio, she enjoys the live entertainment and outings. An art major in school, Galante continues to be interested in anything to do with crafts. She enjoys sharing her love of art with others.
