| Larry Homan, Coon Rapids MN Born and raised in Minnesota, I remarried in 2003 and now have five children (his, hers and ours).My wife and I both love children and have learned an incredible amount from blending a family. Growing up, I always liked drawing and creative arts. Although I have enjoyed many different forms of artistic expression, my favorite has always been airbrushing. I love the soft look achieved using an airbrush and prefer realism. In 1994 I formed Larry’s Rare-Air Custom Airbrushing, LLC (www.larrysrareair.com). My specialty area is wildlife but I have painted a wide variety of images throughout the years. I have spent most of my professional career in the graphic design field. For over six years I longed to find an occupation that would allow me to help people by utilizing my artistic abilities and love for people.I also needed to be able to support my large family. I began to pray for direction and my prayers were answered through Art Without Boundaries™. I am now working my dream job as a MnemeTherapist™. It is very rewarding to help individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, Autism or other brain disorders as well as stroke recovery. I thank God for placing me on this exciting new journey and am enjoying a much more fulfilling and satisfying career! |

Testimonials
"Our experience with Larry Homan’s Art 4 All program [MnemeTherapy®] at
Stonecrest has been amazing. We had a particularly moving experience with one
of our residents who rarely comes out to activities. When Larry worked with her
we were so impressed with the results. She was fully engaged, singing along and
independently moving the paint brush. More importantly she had a smile on her
face and it was obvious that she was motivated to continue and was excited by
the art she created." Nicole Achterling, Recreation Director
"Larry worked with one of our residents, Mary B., who has aphasia. Mary was
living on her own up until 3 months ago and then moved in to our Assisted Living.
Since moving here her ability to speak has diminished and her usual utterance is
"yeah-yeah". As she began to work with Larry she was able to repeat words as
he spoke them. Larry's patience was a key factor along with his slow
pronunciation of the word he wanted her to speak. She repeated short
sentences after Larry and at one point she asked him to come and work with her
on her speech. Mary was able to repeat words (right & left, Thank you) on her
own as Larry provided patience & encouragement. Mary was very proud of
herself and she had a glowing countenance as she left. One could see she was
proud of her special time painting & talking." -Chaplain Bev Vasseur
