About us
The "Painting for Pleasure" group
consists of members with a variety of problems, such as M.S., M.E. and D.S., as well as Rheumatoid
Arthritis and cancer. Some are retired or bereaved, some are carers,
and one or two are physically challenged. There are also young members
with learning difficulties and
emotional disorders such as bipolar and depression.
Some people are coming during times of
illness and disability such as hip replacements to regain confidence,
and then continuing to paint and benefit from their new interests. The
group has become a lifeline for people who would not ordinarily be
eligible or able to cope with a normal painting group. We also have outings to exhibitions, which have
included "Whistler, Turner & Monet" at the Tate. We have also joined in
many art projects locally.
Painting for Pleasure is
nominated for a Civic Cultural Award.
