An art collaberation with Annie who has Mixed Dementia

Annie has mixed dementia and is residing in a home in Buckinghamshire.

The painting we made took her on a journey, the route was via her childhood where she spoke of picnics, running through fields and family holidays.

How wonderful it is to share these memories with someone I don't know, some one I have only just met.

Research shows that singing and music can access the sub conscious where memories lie dormant.
I believe that art can do the same.

By stimulating conversations and journeying through the work we collaborate to make, we can reach a magical thread of conversation…

Join us on Facebook for exclusive ideas and projects for art with the elderly and those with dementia.

Sometimes we post deas on Facebook before this blog.

We will be providing ideas and insights into working with people in residential homes and also for people with learning difficulties.

Our free colouring sheets also act as conversation starters taking the participants on a whole journey…but that is another story.
