Event Phptography by:  Kelli Plas Photography

 

Benjamin created this artwork
specifically for "Strides for The General" 2011.

Featured Artist: Benjamin Sloetjes, patient of Hamilton General Hospital

Since Benjamin started his journey as an acquired brain injury survivor, he has received four years of intense therapy that focused on walking and balance, speech pathology, cognitive and fine motor skills. Now, his emotive paintings encompass all of these therapies.
A typical painting day for Benjamin includes getting out of bed and walking to his studio. He is then presented with a variety of colours of paint and is asked to communicate the hues he wants for the project at hand. He holds the paint brush and generates the expression of art through the movement of his hand. His artwork has become therapeutic and gives him great sense of purpose in his life.
