Stotfold Neurodiversity Art Trail
Quick Intro:
Hi I am Paul, I am a Stotfold based portait artist who's on a mission to do 25 projects to both celebrate Neurodiversity while raise awareness of it! This page is all dedicated to the a FREE Art Trail I am running throughout August 2025, project No. 11 of 25, for the full list of ongoing or TBC projects please visit: www.personableportraits.co.uk/hyperfocus anyway more details on the art trail below!
How to take part in the trail:
Stotfold Library is the main hub for the FREE Art Trail, the lovely staff in the library have kindly offered to print the activity sheets which include a map to help you find all 25 locations. Pop into the Library to collect yours when you can or alternatively you can click here to download print your own (please print double sided).
Within this activity pack there is a page where you can capture a "Secret Answer" featured at each location, once you have all 25 you can return your completed activity sheet to the library to be in for the chance to WIN PRIZES donated by local businesses!
I will periodically look to supply some local businesses with a few copies of the activity pack so keep an eye out when visiting pubs and businesses around Stotfold!
How to win prizes:
1. Collect, Print or Write Out the Activity Pack (See Above)
2. Locate all 25 locations listed and capture the "Secret Answer" against the corresponding location number (they can all be seen from the public footpaths and can be seen even if the business is not open when you're doing the trail).
3. Return your completed activity sheet to the Stotfold Library, don't forget to include a name and contact number.
4. Once the art trail has concluded I will collect all the entries and check the answer, then I will be arranging an event to announce the winners. I'm also planning to look at placing some other drop off locations at other businesses however the Library is the primary hub for this!
Why not join the Facebook Group to ask for help and provide feedback, share some photos etc, (Please do not show any of the secret answers in you photos or posts directly): CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE ART TRAIL FACEBOOK GROUP

Hi, my names Paul.
I’m an an artist that lives here in Stotfold, I live here with my beautiful wifey and daughter, oh and a massive cat named Moomin. I was diagnosed late in life with both Dyslexia and ADHD, so its fair to say I’ve had my fair share of struggles, but I’m now on a journey to stop blaming myself and focus more on understanding how my brain works.
In March 2023 I discovered a passion for drawing, especially portrait drawing (that’s my self portrait above), I know, my wife’s a very lucky lady! I’ve found that being honest and open about my conditions has truely benefited me and even allowed me to help many others. So at the very start of 2025 I launched Hyperfocus, it’s my goal to try and do 25 fun ideas to help raise awareness of neurodiversity in 2025, for more info please visit www.personableportraits.co.uk/hyperfocus
As part of the Hyperfocus Projects I have released a kids book on Dyslexia called 'Silly Words'; click here to view it on Amazon!
Let’s bring your cherished memories to life through art!
Capture the beauty of your loved ones with a custom hand-drawn portrait!
