Regina Skrida, a healthcare assistant at Southgate Beaumont care home, began painting during lockdown, focusing on landscapes inspired by her childhood memories. Her work not only serves as a personal outlet but also enriches the lives of elderly residents, allowing them to experience art in a unique way. With private exhibitions set up for immobilized residents, Regina's art fosters a connection to the outside world. The facility frequently organizes art activities, highlighting their significance in daily life and overall well-being, according to activities co-ordinator Zoe Grindley.
"I discovered that painting was right to express all my memories and to share them," Regina said, reflecting on how art provides a connection to her past and a means to communicate.
Zoe Grindley mentioned, "Art is popular here; it's part of our every day," emphasizing how creative activities form an integral part of the residents' lives.
