Attending hospice art sessions has given me the confidence to tackle new things. Sharon gave me this big piece of paper and I thought I couldn't do that but it was so good that it became a present for my husband and is on my wall at home. By continuing to do the art work the fear of failure goes away. The non-judgmental, supportive environment made me have confidence. I now believe anyone can make art. '

I was soon absorbed in the creative process of watercolours, yet very aware of the light approach of the hospice artist as they flitted between my colleagues. There was a word of encouragement, a passing comment on the basic pencil outline, a quiet suggestion on colour options, praise for the boldness of the brush strokes and positive snippets that build confidence and make you feel you are going in the right direction.  

I was completely stressed out when I came in and now I'm a lot better. It has completely taken me away from my worries. I look forward to coming and every week I am introduced to new techniques and paints and gaining the confidence to use them. 

The art room is a very special place. The artists bring the best out of everyone. People from all walks of life come along. It’s a very special room and a lot of magic happens there. The staff are fantastic and there’s no pressure. I think that’s the most important thing. It never ceases to amaze me what people can achieve, it’s very inspiring.
