Their art is in the right place in Leeds

articlemain

An exhibition in the reception area of Leeds care home Donisthorpe Hall is the result of a project with the In The Moment charity for residents with dementia.

Led by professional artists Becky Cherriman and Beverly Haines, it involved exploring a range of textures, images and sounds to prompt personal reflections and creative expression.

Donisthorpe’s Candace Grant said the results had been remarkable.

“One of the artists who is living with dementia was eating a biscuit at the time of executing her painting and asked if the biscuit could be stuck on to her creation, making it into a collage.”
