Student gives art to QEH

THE CHILDREN’S WARD of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital has been given a lift – compliments of a sixth form student of The Lodge School.
Kevin Ward recently presented 20 hand-painted ceiling tiles created from fairy tales and nursery rhymes.
“I am very proud of the project. It was hard work, but it was all worth it and I hope the children like it very much,” he said.
Jean Prescott-Bullen, head of The Lodge School’s art and music department, said the paintings were done for Ward’s Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations creative project.
The project was started last November, but the idea for the artwork came when one of Ward’s friends visited the paediatric ward.
Ward said he had already received requests to create artwork for private homes, but for now, he will focus on upcoming exams. (LK)
