of Design Detroit (MM-O-DD) Founder 
Leslie Ann Pilling contacted Wineman to 
come back to his hometown roots for a solo 
exhibition he calls Neuroplasticty+. 
The month-long exhibition opened on 
Saturday, Feb. 4, with an artist reception with 
Wineman. The last week of the exhibition, 
which runs through March 4, will have an 
artist-in-the-round session with Wineman 
and live painting. 
Wineman has partnered up with lifelong 
friends and former Cranbrook football 
cronies, Born and Raised Detroit Executive 
Director Parker Lynch and Vice President 
George Bibbs, to give back proceeds from 
the exhibition to BRAINWORXX, a pillar 
program of MM-O-DD that reveals the 
effects that art, nature and design have on 
mental health. 

Born and Raised Detroit Foundation is 
an all-volunteer nonprofit that supports 
initiatives that contribute to building a 
stronger community and positive way of life 
for Detroit youth. 
“I paint for my mental health and others. 
There is no point to do any of this without 
paying it forward,
” Wineman adds. “I think 
I’m finally happy — at least a little more 
balanced and much more productive in 
society to where I feel like I am complete. 
My wife and almost-2-year-old little man are 
both proud of me. 
“I changed everything by simply wanting 
to be better for myself and everyone around 
me. Life is good.
”
