Good to see art work completed in an occupational therapy intervention with a service user who has a brain injury - in an actual Museum - namely the Harris Museum & Art Gallery, Preston- great museum & always community focused

So- a service user has a photo of his mom- states he has no artistic skills- wants a portrait doing. This is what we did in an occupational therapy session. We looked at Pop Art & came up with this process- it’s being printed on material. Let’s see the next stage ❤️ OT & ART
