Camden artist Tony Brooks, 52, was hit by a car on his way home from school as a teenager and survived a brain injury which affected his mobility, speech, and vision.

He began drawing when he became a member of Headway East London.

Tony said: "My artwork helps me to concentrate and control my hand. I like to draw horses and animals."

He sells his artwork and said: "It gives me some independence, pride and confidence to do something for myself as I can't do much else."

The art fair took place at the Camden offices of London Law firm Osbornes Law.

Stuart Kightley, managing partner, said it was a pleasure to host the event: "Our personal injury team have worked with Headway East London for a number of years and we have seen how empowering art is for many who have suffered a brain injury."
