This amazing piece is entitled "Freya" by artist Dorota Chioma.
It was created in response to our #WeCreate challenge. Create patron @Isysuttie asked you to create a piece of artwork inspired by your favourite song.
Dorota chose the song 'Keeping Me Alive' by @JonRoyOfficial😍
Happy Friday! Here's a lovely zine made at a recent project with older carers from Merton and Islington.
