Ella Ragland lived an active life in the Laclede
County, Missouri area. She understood beauty in agriculture, wildlife,
recreation, family, and in garden settings. As a member of the Lebanon
Art Association she studied art and developed natural talents. "Ella's
spirit shows in her painting," is a comment friends have made to her family.
Ella's daughter has devoted the art that Ella
accomplished to the development of individualized therapies for Alzheimer's
patients, starting with Laclede County, expanding next throughout the
Ozarks, then beyond. We currently fund music therapy, doll therapy,
"activity aprons" and hope to expand soon to art therapy.
Proceeds from the sales as well as donations to the Ella Ragland Art 501 (c) (3) Company are not connected to any other organizations or funds. Please feel free to contact us to see how you can help. The easiest way to contact us is to leave a message on the guestbook of our blog, Joyce's "Ella" Journal.
