Healing power of art helps mum
From the archive, first published Friday 14th Oct 2005.
ARTIST Marie Edwards is still putting her life back together after her daughter died in a hospital scandal more than 10 years ago.
Miss Edwards, 37, from Melksham, was devastated when her five-month-old daughter Jazmine died in 1993 after heart surgery at the Bristol Royal Infirmary. To help her through the pain she has put together a collection of her abstract paintings and is appealing for a gallery to take her work on as sole exhibitor.
She said: "I have had very positive feedback about the paintings.
"It has been a long struggle but to put all my feelings into my artwork is a tremendous help."
The Bristol scandal was discovered in 1998, when doctors realised the death rate among children undergoing heart surgery at the hospital was double the national average.
