Houston Internist and Artist, Cynthia Williams, MD Donates 100% of Art Sale Proceeds Through January 2024 to Houston Nonprofit Care Partners--Dementia Care Division

Unique art therapy program helps older people and those living with dementia to connect

HOUSTON, Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Concierge Choice Physicians (CCP), the nation's leading full-service concierge medical service provider, proudly announces their client, local physician and artist Cynthia Williams, MD, is raising money to support seniors, older people in care facilities and those suffering from dementia by donating 100% of the proceeds from her art sales to Care Partners Texas. This fundraising effort is currently in place through the end of January 2024.

According to Alzheimer's and dementia experts, art therapy—particularly painting—is an excellent way to connect with seniors who may be experiencing problems with speech and language. Because of where dementia may be impacting the brain, they are often still able to express themselves creatively, and this is the area in which Dr. Williams is hoping to tap.

"The joy I see on the faces of older patients who can suddenly explore with color and paint their emotions is inspiring. Many of the people I work with have never held a paintbrush before, but the colors and that tactical feel of moving the paint around is a sensory experience that can bring forth not only happiness, but often memories," says Williams. "I am hoping to raise both money and awareness through my art sales to support Care Partners important work of providing support, education, resources, and respite to family caregivers and quality care to individuals living with memory loss, Alzheimer's, or dementia."

Dr. Williams has a unique dimensional and vibrant style of painting which make her art lovely holiday gifts. She uses thick, vibrant paint she applies with a palette knife, "just like icing a cake." Dr. Williams paints a wide array of subjects, especially nature themes like the ocean, gardens, forests, farms and animals. She sells affordable prints and calendars, as well as original art pieces. You can also commission an original piece of art. View her art and order by visiting www.cindywilliamswareart.com. 

Once again, 100% of all proceeds go to benefit Care Partners-Dementia Care, a nationally recognized nonprofit organization providing high-quality care for older adults and people with dementia, as well as their caregivers across Greater Houston.
