Art for Little Hearts Sparks Creativity

Patients at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) spent the morning expressing their creativity during Art for Little Hearts thanks to the Big Hearts for Little Hearts Riverside Guild. Bobbie Powell, vice president of the Riverside Guild and former director of the Riverside Art Museum, gave patients a lesson in art on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Powell presented the art of Frieda Kahlo an early 20th century portrait artist and encouraged the kids to be creative with colors, textures and shapes using various art tools such as stamps and tissue paper along with the usual crayons, glue and construction paper. It was apparent that Kaden Wilkins, 6, from Joshua Tree, enjoyed the opportunity to color alongside his mom, Ashley. Kaden created a portrait of his own, and he also assisted his mom with choosing some of the final colors for her rendition of a Frieda Kahlo portrait. The Riverside Guild was founded in 2010 to support hospitalized children at LLUCH and is committed to educating the public about the outstanding children’s services provided by the hospital. The goal of the guild is to raise community awareness for the hospital and promote LLUCH as the best place to bring sick or injured children. Nearly 10,000 children from the Riverside area are treated annually at LLUCH.
