Heartlands Hospital has uncovered a gem in its workforce and is displaying the jewelled evidence for all to see.
Sangeeta Dabhi, a Personal Assistant in the Diabetes Team, is a talented indian jewellery artist and her work has now taken pride of place on the walls in the hospital.
Sangeeta tried her hand at jewellery making two years ago to fill her time while she was on extended maternity leave with her son, Yash. Yash was born prematurely and Sangeeta decided to take some extra time off to care for him and used her son as inspiration for the new business idea – Accessorise with Yash.
The talented PA soon discovered she had a flare for designing bespoke indian jewellery and her hobby soon turned into a thriving business. Sangeeta buys her supplies from India and produces necklaces, earrings, bracelets and handbags.
Sangeeta said: “The whole idea came from nowhere and I suddenly found I was pretty good at it and people wanted to buy my designs. I’m really pleased that people are so interested in my hobby, it’s very flattering. I was thrilled when the Arts Team said they would like to display my work – I even sold a few items as we were putting up the display!”
Heartlands Hospital’s Arts project works across the hospital to provide a healing and friendly environment for patients and visitors through the creative Arts. Part of this project is to display the artistic talents of its staff members around the hospital.
Julia Robins, Arts Consultant at the Hospital, said: “Sangeeta’s work is fantastic. We’re really excited to have the opportunity to display something so exotic and interesting. We’ve had lots of interest about her work, it’s great to know that our displays are enjoyed by patients, visitors and staff.”
