Two people with FTD have provided examples of their art work. We hope you find it of interest.
Dick Lingham
In 1992 Lyn Lingham noticed that her 57 year old husband Dick, when driving, did nothing to avoid oncoming cars; in company he told embarrassing stories. He was diagnosed with fronto-temporal dementia. Whilst empathy, tact and memory slip away, a glorious ability for painting has emerged.
In 2011, Dick is amongst few patients who are known to have lived for so long post diagnosis. He still paints and attends a weekly art class which he enjoys.
Dick's long term survival is of interest to researchers invoved in the underrstanding of fronto temporal dementia.
