The Brief A Flagstaff resident and retired research mathematician has transitioned into a successful artist during retirement. Through the "My Miracle Moment" program, staff at The Bluffs of Flagstaff created a permanent wall display for his artwork inside the facility. For one Flagstaff resident, he turned to painting in retirement, and his community is now honoring him with a permanent space to display his work. "Some painting, but I was so poor we couldn't afford paint, so we didn't have paint," Van Ness said. To get a solo show is a real honor and I didn't expect anything," Van Ness said.
