An artist is usiing cremation ashes in his paintings as a unique way to help grieving family members remember their loved ones.
Gary Harper, from Liverpool, blends a small amount of the ashes into his paint to produce “unique, deeply personal paintings”.
Harper said he works closely with clients to capture the “spirit, personality and essence, as well as the places they loved, the memories they shared and the things that made them who they were”.
“It’s a way of quite literally incorporating someone into a piece of artwork created in their honour,” he added.
