Painting - United Kingdom
Art is a wonderful therapy.
It gives a stroke survivor a feeling of
14 accomplishment. A period spent putting your
thoughts and dreams onto a blank canvas helps
to bring life to limbs that have been weakened
through a stroke.
Therapeutically I found art brings a feeling of well
being.
I have painted for more than fifty years and when I
had my stroke depression was the abyss I fell into,
that was until the Stroke Association and my family
brought out my brushes and said paint.
It was not an easy road but it did ease the depres-
sion considerably and provided a light at the end of
the tunnel.
