#Portraitsfornhsheroes is an initiative instigated by Oxford based portrait painter, Tom Croft.

 

It connects artists, through social media, with NHS workers, their family or close friend, during the Covid-19 pandemic, to enable an artist to paint their portrait as a gift to them. 

​

During the pandemic lockdown I have thrived on the opportunity to gift a portrait to these NHS heroes, to get to know a little about their lives and experience of this terrible disease. I have been led by them as to what sort of portrait they want and I have been honoured to share their stories on my Instagram & Facebook feed. This is an ongoing project that I am proud to be involved with. 

 

It has been uplifting to be able to do something for them to show our gratitude and an experience I will never forget.

​

If you would like to commission me for a portrait and get in touch, please email me at: lisatimmerman1@mac.com.

My current exhibition at the Leciester Royal Infirmary, using framed giclee prints, is sponsored by On The Edge Framing, Storafile, and Netdocs.
