The Hospice Project

In 2016, I began painting portraits at Penrith Day Hospice. This has been a transformative and extremely rewarding project.

I set up my easel in the hospice day room, and each week have been painting a different subject.   I’ve developed  a great affection for the people who come to spend the day. The Penrith Hospice is a hidden treasure, a lovely friendly and welcoming place for people who are sharing real challenges, and it is staffed by the nicest group of people one can imagine in health care.
