Local artist donates sculpture to Compton Hospice

Wolverhampton artist, David Livesey, has donated his latest artwork to Compton Hospice.

His creation is the latest in a long line of wooden sculptures, created in his studio at the Wildside Activity Centre in Hordern Road.

The 47-year-old, who lives in Waterloo Road, completed a degree in fine art and sculpture at Bilston but didn't begin working in wood until he enrolled on an employment training scheme.

Rather than sell his designs, David prefers to donate his work to local institutions, particularly healthcare settings, as he has suffered with epilepsy all his life and had a stroke in 1995 and appreciates the good work they do.

Previous sculptures have been donated to Pennfields Health Centre, West Park Hospital, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, New Cross Hospital, Alder Coppice Primary School, Wolves, the Wolverhampton Mayor, West Midlands Police and the Express and Star.

He has also been commissioned to make artwork for the Mander Shopping Centre, RSPB and the Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals NHS Trust.

The new sculpture was presented to hospice trustee Jeremy Hobbs during an art exhibition at Compton's day unit on Saturday, 14th January.
