Hello!

Hello! And welcome to the CF Illustration Project Blog. 

Taking place on the Cystic Fibrosis ward at the University Hospital South Manchester, this narrative-themed project aims to encourage and support patients to share and visualise their individual stories via discussion and fun creative activities. 

My name is Kim Thompson and I'm a Freelance Illustrator based in the North West. Lead by Lime Arts and Health, I am honored to have been selected to take part in the CF Illustration project and will be providing creative support and guidance for all patients interested in taking part in the project.

For any patients interested but not yet involved, it's not too late! I'll be on the ward every Wednesday and Thursday between 1pm and 5pm until May 2015 and I'm always happy to come and have a chat about what you might like to contribute. Please rest assured that this project is not just for those with natural creative ability but for everybody - I truly believe that anybody can produce great art and I have lots of tips and tricks I can share with you to prove it! 

I'll be using this blog to document our activities in relation to the project, feel free to contact me with any questions about getting involved/ the project in general at:

Thanks and best wishes,

Kim Thompson
