This piece is called "Abuse." 

"This is artwork that helps to bring awareness of abuse of all types. That your voices are not silenced. That no matter what type of abuse you have endured, you are strong, you matter and you are valid. 

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of strength! You are not alone and there is always help for those who need it and for those who ask for it. 

This piece is about how no matter your bruises and scars, whether they are physical or not, you are still beautiful, you still matter and you are valid."

This piece is called "Black Lives Matter." It is made of book pages, acrylic paint and tissue paper. The mix of shades from brown to lighter pink colours represent that skin tone doesn't matter. The artist hopes that people will see this piece and rethink how they treat people in society, looking to instil that the colour of someone's skin does not define a person.

This piece is called "Split Personality."

When creating this piece I felt down and alone which is represented in the skull side of the piece. The other side of the piece represents happiness. Both of these two conflicting emotions are some things which can be difficult to express at times. This piece represents that people can hide their true emotions and at times it becomes hard to hold it in, deal with or  convey. 

Two artists highlight love in this piece and valuing the things close to them which have been so important during lockdown. It portrays the importance of family, partners and the natural world in helping us cope through difficult times. They hope this piece will allow the viewer to reflect on those important people around them and consider how they show appreciation for them.

My wonderful son decided to get as many selection boxes or family chocolates that he could for the food bank so that he could make children smile

We made a small allotment in our garden and planted tomatoes, corn on the cob, green beans, Brussels sprouts, rhubarb, lettuce, carrots and blueberries. We ate fresh veg all summer long.

We also got the whole estate to make spitfire planes to put in the front garden while they did their exercise walk to remember the fallen and built a remembrance garden.

There are loads of other things we did, but ran out of room

I loved lockdown. I discovered my love for painting, cooking creating things, family time and the outdoors.

My favourite thing to do is play football but lockdown has meant that my matches and training have had to stop. However, this has allowed me to gain new hobbies, such as photography which is now one of my favourite things to do! These were taken in Dornoch, Highlands and Cartmel, Cumbria.
