BBC News Coronavirus: Artist Tom Croft paints NHS key worker portraits for free, inspires local artist.
An artist from York has been painting portraits of NHS frontline workers for free.
Karen Winship said she was inspired by artist Tom Croft, who started a campaign giving away free portraits to key workers around the world.
She said it had been "very emotional" painting the portraits and has completed nine so far.
"Just their back stories of what they're going through are emotional and difficult," she said.
"My eldest daughter works for the NHS, she's an occupational therapist at York Hospital, and I just wanted to do something."
