Nina joined us for her very first session at Reachout last week and created an absolutely stunning mixed media painting of a buzzard — and would you believe, it’s the first time she’s painted since school!

Inspired by a buzzard she sees perched in the same tree every day, Nina’s painting came together quickly and she felt emotional, moved by what she’d achieved.

"I can't believe I done this, I'm actually quite proud of this!"

The green background contrasts beautifully with the vibrant buzzard imagery, making the whole piece pop with life. It’s a testament to how creativity can reconnect us with ourselves and the world around us. Isn’t it beautiful? Well done, Nina – amazing work!
