101-year-old Marian Wardell-Qualey sits up in the hospital bed inside of her home in Hobe Sound, FL. An artist and former art teacher, Wardell-Qualey now suffers from many ailments, including macular degeneration, which combined with her otherwise deteriorating state of health, forced her to give up painting the portraits of flowers and nudes that hang on her own walls.
