Born in Bronzefield
Where pain became power and purpose
My story began somewhere you may never expect. On 31 March 2026, I was remanded to HMP Bronzefield and locked in a cold, quiet cell.
I was there because of false allegations. I had spoken the truth, set boundaries and raised real concerns, and my voice was silenced. I had bland food, a TV, a phone line, a flask, a chapel pack and a wing full of women.
Waiting for release. Waiting for recognition. Waiting for love.
Then we picked up paintbrushes. I smiled. I made eye contact. I felt excited again. On 14 April, at 10am, I walked out, and I carried that feeling with me.
Today I’m inviting every woman who has lived through domestic abuse, every victim and every survivor, into this circle, so that together we can become whole again.
Come as you are
Celebrations & private parties
Birthdays, baby showers, daytime hen parties or simply a long-overdue catch-up. You choose the theme, and we’ll make it unforgettable, at your place or ours.
Older adults & care homes
Gentle, unhurried sessions designed around every ability, sparking memories, conversation and plenty of smiles.
Teams & workplaces
Swap the screen for a canvas. A wellbeing afternoon your team will talk about for weeks.
Families & little artists
Children, parents and grandparents creating side by side. A little messy and a lot of fun.
More than a painting
The calm, the laughter, the pride of “I made that”
Creativity is good for us. A World Health Organization review of more than 900 publications found that the arts play a real part in promoting health and wellbeing. At Coffee and Canvas you’ll feel it for yourself.
