The artworks were then photographed and printed onto aluminium sheets, and now adorn the outside walls of the hospital.
Art psychotherapist, Cheryl Portlock, who runs the art psychotherapy group at St Michael’s said: “Our patients showed compassion and selflessness towards others when they were unwell themselves.
"Participating in a collaborative project is significant for patients, it builds confidence to take on new challenges, sparks new ways to open imagination and can lead to creating something never conceived of doing alone.”
