I Lost a Patient Today

Miriam says: "Nurse Jennifer Cole, from Michigan posted in her social media a self portrait with a detailed account of her overwhelming experience on a particular day when she lost a patient. It touched my heart. With her photo and words she reflected the sentiment of so many other front line workers and heroes.

PortraitsforNHSheroes has been such a wonderful initiative. It personally has helped me as an artist, not to feel so helpless. Painting Nurse Jennifer Cole's portrait has been a humbling experience. She and all the frontline workers have my admiration and appreciation for all their sacrifice and hard work. It has been an honour to do this portrait!"

Jennifer says: "Hi Miriam! Thank you for your beautiful artwork. Your art is gorgeous and inspiring, and seeing the world thru your eyes I think helps people to feel more emotion and empathy. Absolutely amazing that there are so many gorgeous pieces of art. How inspiring to see everyone's interpretations. Thank you so much for sharing."
