Peter presents his painting!

12/12/07

Image: Peter/peterweb.jpgPeter Jones, a person we support in Hartlepool, this week presented one of his paintings to Councillor Susan Woodward of Staffordshire County Council, who was the lucky winner of a competition held by Dimensions at the recent Social Services conference in Bournemouth.

Peter, an accomplished artist, was commissioned by Dimensions to paint a picture that would be given away as a competition prize. Councillor Woodward was the lucky winner, and Peter made the trip to Staffordshire this week to present his picture personally.

Cllr Woodward said: "I am so pleased that Peter made the journey to present the prize to me. It presented a great opportunity to meet this talented man in person - his accomplishments are an example to others to show what can be achieved."

Last year, Peter received a supported employment grant from Dimensions to establish his own art business. His paintings are available for sale through this website.
