Aric Turrell
Aric enjoys being part of the Art Gallery where he is able to participate in events, classes, art shows, and projects. This has allowed him to meet new people and make new friends. In 2019, he and his brother Sean joined with other members to work on two projects. The group met weekly with residents of Heritage Village. Aric taught painting and worked with residents to create original art. While working and communicating with them he learned about the residents lives and about helping others.

Aric also enjoyed working on the paintings for the ComEd project. Aric learned many new techniques from the volunteer staff and enjoyed the time spent with his friends while working. From the project, Aric has decided to to create new art both traditionally and digitally. He is building 3D outdoor scenes with building blocks and various household items. Aric always look forward to new programs, new art shows, and chances to learn and be with friends.
