Zionsville Meadows Assisted Living is celebrating resident and regionally renowned artist Thelma Frame as she turns 104 with a party in her honor. Friends and family will gather at the community at 1 p.m. on Monday, May 8.
Thelma grew up on a farm outside of Hebron, Ind., and began drawing as a child. Over the years she expanded her artistry to include painting, and she eventually began painting with watercolors in her 90s. She particularly loves to paint landscapes and anything reflecting “the quiet of country.” She has won several awards at regional painting competitions, and has several pieces displayed at the Richmond Art Museum in Richmond, Ind., where she lived previously.
Thelma studied education at Indiana University and was a teacher. She says that the secret to living life to the fullest is to keep busy and “stay useful.” She continues to live out this philosophy by volunteering to lead creative activities at Zionsville Meadows.
Zionsville Meadows Assisted Living is located at 675 S. Ford Road in Zionsville. Please consider joining Frame as she is recognized on this special day.
