Story
Hannah Lindfield was a young woman who suffered from Pfeiffer Syndrome, a
rare genetic disorder that causes the bones of the skull to fuse
together so it cannot grow properly. Hannah suffered all her life and
was in and out of hospital until her premature death at the age of 23 in
November 2014. She was deaf and registered blind but despite this she
was a talented artist with a wonderful sense of colour and an incredible
personal story.
Speaking about her art, Hannah said:
"it allows me to communicate my emotions and fears to doctors and loved ones and to act as therapy to get myself through
difficult and painful times. Futhermore, this is also why colour is so
important in my art, as it allows me to communicate emotion"
A special gala charity concert took place on Friday 4 September 2015 to raise funds to enable Hannah's family to publish Hannah's biography.
