A talented young Co Tyrone artist has opened up on how she first picked up the paint brush as a way of dealing with bullies in school.
Hannah Gormley, a year 9 pupil at St Patrick’s Academy in Dungannon, picked up a prize at the recent Texaco Children’s Art competition for a portrait of her little brother, Adam.
Cabra girl Hannah says she realised from her primary school days that she struggled to fit in with many of her peers, and that she turned to art to help her express her feelings.
