Residents reap rewards of art therapy

RESIDENTS at a Limerick nursing home, 14 of whom have acquired brain injuries, yesterday held an exhibition of their art projects.

All are cared for at Killeline Nursing Home near Newcastle West and the exhibition consists of paintings, a piece of sculpture and textile work, all completed over the past few months.

Art therapist Annette McConnell has been working with residents at the nursing home over the past six months.
