A ‘LIFE-SCAPE’ ILLUSTRATION FOR WENDY
April 2019
Inscape artist Jenny Masters painted a beautiful picture for Wendy from Ward 5A. It depicts her beloved horse and dog, Carlton Beach which is her favourite place, and as is Jenny’s style, some special extras that made Wendy feel that the artwork was truly a reflection of who she is. When gifted to her she cried with joy and said ‘It’s beautiful’ and ‘Thank you’. She said ‘It made my day’.

How exciting to have our new music trolley delivered by artist, Nick Maxwell and his son Bodhi. We are so grateful to Nick who created this beautifully crafted work of art as well as the Tasmanian Community Fund for making this dream for Inscape come true. Our musicians can’t wait to push it along the corridors with all our instruments to the bedsides of patients at the Royal Hobart Hospital. #nickmaxwell #inscape#instrumental

For the first time our musicians visited Peacock 1, a sub-acute care unit at the Repatriation Hospital. Annie and Will Parsell performed in the multi-purpose room and at the bedside of some appreciative music lovers, including Catherine who loved to hear Annie sing ‘Tell me ma’ a traditional Irish song and a reminder of her Irish heritage. #instrumental #inscape#musicinhospitals
