The picture of Lloyd’s baskets was selected from 182 art submissions for this calendar which celebrates active aging and the arts. Born in Japan, Lloyd has resided at The Fountains at Washington House since 2011. She loves sewing, crocheting and participating in The Fountains’ needlework group which donates useful items to charity.
