RESIDENTS at a Hagley nursing home were treated to an art session with a talented local artist whose work has featured in the New York Times.
Daniel Whitehouse, known as Super Freak, visited Field House Residential Care Home on Tuesday January 17.
Wellbeing co-ordinator and a relative of the artist Pauline Whitehouse arranged the visit which she said went down a storm with the residents.
She said: “He came into the home and did an original painting with the residents who all have dementia...it was amazing.”
Daniel, aged 29, from Colley Gate, whose work has been used by the New York Times, Snap Chat and a host of well-known brands.

As well as spending the entire day at the home, the artist also generously agreed to auction off the original painting he created.
Pauline added: “We really hope to raise over £1,000 pounds so we can give our residents à treat.”
