How our clients are staying inspired in lockdown Pt 1

“In my struggles with mental illness and the current pandemic, at times I’ve felt very isolated,” says Alena. “Doing artwork has enabled me to have a focus to help my anxiety and frustrations in life during these hard times. In lockdown, I've been enjoying listening to music by artists such as Lady Gaga, her music is upbeat and very motivational. I also love her costumes, make-up and masks - they're very theatrical and creative."

"I also like reading books on wildlife," says Alena. "I love to look at the pictures of animals such as cats I find them to be very clever, curious and cute - always great to have as a pet. It’s therapeutic to be able to draw and paint animals. It keeps my mind at ease being able to appreciate the wonders of nature - the three polar bears looking out with curiosity about where to go for their next meal. Moments in time are what we live in and how we see the world around us. It’s great to be able to be convey this through painting."
