Rich’s art journey

Painting my way through a life with Parkinson’s disease 

In the summer of 2018 I started to notice my Right hand wasn’t doing quite what I wanted it to do. Within 6 months I had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and as part of my journey with PD I picked up a paint brush and started painting again after about a 10 year hiatus. These are some of the results. Some I like, others less so. Now I paint almost every day and it’s helping me deal with the ups and downs of life with Mr P.
