STUDIOS (In Progress) | Connor Matheson

Constantine is a visual artist who works with paint. His studio space is now funded by the NHS to help him with his mental health. "Before I had the studio I used to feel worthless being on disability benefit, in and out of hospital, it was as if I had no purpose. A nurse recognised that I draw all the time and suggested I get a studio, since then it has given me something to get up for in the morning and when I feel bad I can come down the studio to express myself."

John is a visual artist that works with acrylic paint and sculpture. His work is inspired by history and often has a social message about the nature of class within our society.

Chris is a pianist and has his studio inside an ex culturally works. Now the building houses CADS art studios and The Night Kitchen night club. Chris has lived in his studio for the past year and lives an alternative lifestyle which he largely dedicates to mastering piano. "My studio gives me solitude and allows me to focus on what I most care about".
