I'm trying to do my own work as an artist but it's not exactly fast progress. I'm doing one lady's portrait, she's not available for another sitting until July 4th, and I only get a few hours in the week to do the work.
I've been considering doing some teaching and I could probably do that very part time. But the other thing I have looked at is using art therapy with dementia patients, a post which has been advertised. The only thing is, when you look into some of the behaviours associated with dementia it's clearly a demanding role.
I have read of wandering, abuse hurling, physical things etc.
Yet art and music are known to help sufferers and are used to stimulate the parts of the mind that are still accessible.
Just mulling it all over, really.
So often, when people teach, they say their own work goes out the window. Yet creativity is essentially there to share.

Just a thought
