Rhiannon Hodgson is rebuilding her confidence by creating incredible pieces of artwork
Rhiannon Hodgson had been feeling a little bit dizzy when she first woke up, went back to sleep only to wake up unable to hear anything. The 37-year-old went to A&E where she was given antibiotics and sent home.
Rhiannon, and her partner Eleanor Westwood, 32, were in denial at the news, with Rhiannon saying it felt as if her independence had been taken from her. She also experienced vertigo, anxiety, and poor sound location forcing her to leave her job, helping to paint theatre sets that often saw her working at height. This left her with depression.
She channelled her talents into creating realistic miniatures of the stadium - starting with the turnstile she'd pass through to football games as a child. She began posting her creations on Twitter, and was swamped with messages from fellow Blues asking to buy her work.
