PEOPLE with multiple sclerosis (MS) have discovered creative talents they never knew they had.
Members of the Stockton MS Group put their disabilities to one side to create a variety of silk paintings, which are going on show in Billingham.
From floral displays to the Newcastle United badge, the exhibition will show off a range of paintings that have been produced during the group's weekly drop-in sessions.
Volunteer and textile designer Judith Gill said: "Everyone has done so well to put this exhibition together.
"Some of the members have never painted before, or even thought about it, and some are quite severely disabled, so what they have done is incredible."
There will be between 15 and 20 paintings on show at the exhibition, at Roseberry Central Library, Roseberry Road, Billingham, which is running until the middle of next month.
People with MS are invited to attend the drop-in sessions every Tuesday at the Methodist Church in Green's Lane, Stockton, from 1pm to 4pm.
