When I started painting Lavender Girl, I was thinking about my little girl Venturina. Who might be a thousand kilometres away thinking about her mummy. Wondering when mummy is going to come home. Standing somewhere in her little corner waiting for her mother. Thinking of her mother. Me.
Would you mind coming and sharing with me this first time experience?
.
It is taking place at the Humber Royal Hotel, Littlecoates Road, Grimsby DN34 4XL
On the 20th of September 2017
From 9 a.m to 11 a.m.
It is part of the NAVIGO Health and Social Care Annual Meeting
Which is about a celebration of artwork, song and poetry by service users across the country.
So come and enjoy yourself, participate, lay back and immerse yourself with the people who work hard to keep mentally unstable people like me out of hospital, out and about socialising, having fun, training, and getting into employment.
Right now I am working at TUKES Restaurant.
My boss makes working there so much fun. She hums and sings and cracks jokes and you are like "Wow, I am happy I came to work today."
I go to work twice a week. For a few hours. This gives me a routine. Something to look forward to and combat stress.
I read on nhs.co.uk that people in the UK work the longest hours in all of Europe.
That is not what it is like in Cleethorpes and Grimsby.
People open late and close early.
My point is I try to protect myself from stress by managing how many hours I spend at work and whether I love what I do.
Thank you for taking the time to read this advert.
If you can make it, please come.
You may or may not meet me but you are guaranteed to see "LAVENDER GIRL"
Title of my art piece.
