Happy Art Gallery
Welcome to a mini-gallery of crowdsourced crafts and art that features homemade treasures from learning disabled people and their families.
My youngest sister Raana’s in supported living and keeping in touch is tricky during the coronavirus lockdown because she doesn’t use the phone. But she loves drawing and making, so I spent a few days collecting pictures of happy handmade arts and crafts to message her, including pictures of her own, colourful creations.
These gems deserve a wider airing so here they are; abstracts, flowers, faces, figures, animals, colour – all made and shared with love. Thanks to all the amazing people and organisations who sent happy art and messages on Twitter and Instagram
Raana messaged me a characteristically short but accurate verdict about the art share: “that good” and then “very kind”.
