"The Mariner's Inn provides a 30-90 day residential substance abuse treatment and transitional housing to homeless men. Admission is voluntary and the client must be 18 years or older and sober before admission. The Inn has a total of 128 beds.   Contact (313) 962-9446 for more information." ~Mariners Inn

During one of our previous volunteer days we helped Maurice "Moe" Hunter's displayed his mosaic art at Mariners Inn. I brought my camera along to document the process. 

The healing affects of art are quiet evident in the great difference it has made in Moe's life. He has spent many hours developing his talent and has gone on to create some pretty impressive pieces.

In my photographs I feel I have captured Moe's pride in having developed his mosaic art. I think it is great that Mariners Inn has a policy to display the artworks done by their men. This gives everyone a chance to enjoy the finished artworks.
