Art Reception for Jakolus "Co" Bungener--"Honoring Life With Art"

Co, whose residence is Shallotte Assisted Living, is suffering from terminal lung condition as well as dealing with failing eyesight, paints a few days a week at the facility's hair salon when not opened. As a young boy "I was always sketching though," "I drew people, landscapes, sometimes a plane...I loved to draw, I'd use pieces of charcoal, whatever I had." He was encouraged by his friends to paint. His first oil painting was a cityscape of Utrecht in The Netherlands.
