Service User Story: Andrea Eva Edwards Taylor
Hi my name is Andrea Eva Edwards Taylor. I am 37 years old. I attend Killadeas Day Care at the Share Unit which is a centre for adults who have a learning disability. I also have very limited eye sight but this does not prevent me from doing what I love.
The paintings and sculptures that are being exhibited at the Share Unit are created by myself. I have a passion for art and fictional characters, this is where I get my inspiration from to create my art work.
