Portraits of Presence: The Lakeside Carehome Painting Project

This short film was part of a deeply meaningful project with Millennium Care, where I spent time painting portraits of elderly residents and hearing their stories.

It reminded me that art isn’t always about exhibitions or perfection — sometimes it’s just about being present with another human being.

Thanks to the residents for their warmth, patience, and quiet wisdom. This project lives close to my heart.
