Idris Davies in Rhymney Council. As well as those above there are others scattered round Wales and in the homes of friends and acquaintances.
I've had exhibitions for charity, given talks on Art, painted murals in schools and given Art lessons to parolees on release from prison to try to help them cope with their drug and alcohol withdrawal issues.
As a foster carer for over thirty years, and a volunteer who has worked for various charitable causes over a long period, I can sincerely say that my main creative inspiration comes from the satisfaction I get from helping those in need.
Finally I'd like to mention that I was a volunteer for Age Cymru Gwent for just under four years, visiting the aged in their homes to make sure they're okay. The reason for mentioning this is to say that if you want to do something worthwhile volunteer with Age Cymru, it will give you a lot of satisfaction to know that you are doing something to help to those in need.
Anyway, that's all from me, all I can add now is to ask you to take a look at the paintings in the Picture Gallery, hope you enjoy them.
