Art for the Hospice

Commissioned especially for the hospice by chaplain Geoff Walters, the works of art have been painstakingly created by artists from Ashford School and now hang on the walls of the hospice chapel.

The sixth form art students were tasked with creating pictures that were spiritual rather than religious in a bid to make the chapel a place where anyone can go, regardless of their religion.

"Our girls are absolutely delighted to see their work used in such a special way," said Head of Art at Ashford School, Bay Lees.

"They are all extremely talented and put a lot of work into the project. All our pupils are encouraged to give something to the community and we hope that these wall-hangings will give many years of comfort, hope and peace."
