FROM THE ART IN HOSPITAL ARCHIVE: Helen Scott

Documentation of Helen Scott at work in Greenfield Park Care Home, part of Art in Hospital's First in a Lifetime project, 2013.

"Helen Scott’s wonderful ‘take over’ of the walls in the new gallery space at Greenfield Park is an extraordinary expression of the joy Helen found in painting for the first time in her 89th year.  When the Artists suggested tea breaks or short rests, she declined almost apologetically, telling them she had to get back to her painting, she had 88 years to catch up on"
