At her recent exhibition at Biddulph Youth & Community Zone, visitors at the community cafe said it was a great initiative.
“It brings everybody together doesn’t it,” said one visitor.
“I’m not much into art, but I can appreciate it. I wish I could paint and stuff like that, I really do.”
The exhibition also gave more experienced artists, like Lucy Collier, the impetus to dig out their old paint brushes.
“It would influence me to start up again,” she smiled, “I love art and always have and did it at uni.”
Breen hopes to inspire more budding artists by displaying her canvases in the BBC Radio Stoke studio in Hanley, on 30 October between 10:00 and 12:00 BST.
