Isa Adam's Story

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 14 years ago. I used to sew quilts, but with the progression of my Parkinson’s, I found it more and more difficult to do so.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I needed to do something creative to help me cope with the stress of the lockdowns.

I started cutting fabrics in a haphazard way and created a work with a colourful tree full of joy and beauty. Every time I see it, I feel proud and cannot believe I created it.

This form of artwork allows me to do and think about something rather than focus on negative thoughts about my Parkinson’s. I love colour. I love fabrics and just looking at them gives me a buzz and make me happy.
