By painting one of the orange spots, staff and service users could embrace the concept of mindfulness and be present in the room as they colour the piece.  About ArtistFinbar247 is one of Ireland’s most vibrant visual artists to use outdoor spaces as a showcase for the arts and personal expression.He first began painting graffiti in 2002.
