We've been absolutely blown away by the amazing talent of one of our Sherwood users! 😯
Warren from our Sherwood Centre day service has been working off his canvas for 18 months, mixing the colours and characters of Mario and Sonic to produce this beautiful masterpiece. 🎨
We love displaying artwork from our services, and fortunately, Warren agreed to donate this piece to our training centre - just as long as he gets to paint another one!
We're in awe of his talent and so grateful to Warren for sharing his art with us. 💖
