Director, Pets and Picasso CIC
Anna Corwood
“As a Registered Nurse I have seen firsthand the amazing impact that animals and art have had on my patients. Their faces light up when their pet comes into the room, when they talk about their animals or when they are showing me something they have created. In times of sadness, worry, bereavement, confusion, and fear I have seen countless times people turning to their pets or the arts for strength and comfort. I have witnessed people facing life altering injury or illness and all they want or care about is their pet. Animals and art have the most incredible impact on us both physically and mentally. This is a rapidly expanding area of health and the benefits are enormous and potentially life changing for some individuals.”
