The artist has created 11 watercolour portraits, painting remotely from life via video chat. Each portrait is complemented by a painting of flowers, offered by Nisenbaum as a gesture of thanks to the NHS, and the incredible sitters. Above is a portrait of Stephen, an Orthoptist and yoga teacher. 'I work as an Orthoptist which is an eye specialist in vision and eye movement disorders, and I work with both children and adults. We always try to make the hospital appointments as fun as we can for the children, which is even more important during this confusing and scary time. Though my colleagues and I now have to wear full PPE which can be distressing for kids, the children see it as playing games rather than getting tests. I create a certificate of bravery for each child which I then email to the parents after their appointment. I ask them what their absolute favourite character/cartoon/film and colour is and then create a certificate around this. Some of the parents have told me how much it’s meant to the children to get their certificate. Something so small can be so important. In addition to this job I am a yoga teacher – my husband Paul, and I, run our own yoga business. This has changed completely since lockdown – we now run our classes online via Zoom. Many have said it’s been a lifeline to them, but it truly has been to us too. To be able to still connect and keep some normality during this time has been amazing.'
