A tribute to Clive Parkinson

A tribute from WAHWN Executive Director Angela Rogers to Clive Parkinson – artist, writer, researcher, campaigner, filmmaker, mentor, and a driving force of the global arts and health movement – who died on Monday 22 June 2026.

Clive Parkinson

"Over a decade ago, Clive joined me and WAHWN colleagues on a road trip around Wales, sharing his humour, pearls of wisdom and extensive knowledge of arts and health. A few years later he returned to Wales and shared the Dementia and Imagination research and practice alongside Dr Gill Windle at Bangor University. I was in awe of him.

"He was a warm, funny and incredibly generous person who will be missed by so many who had the pleasure of knowing him. Our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones."
