In July 1999 three artists, Natalie Dower, Paula Rego and Evelyn Williams, with Cynthia Pell's sister Barbara, arranged an exhibition at The Orleans House Gallery of all Cynthia's then known work.

The exhibition and an accompanying book (Cynthia Pell 1933-1977) attracted much media attention and a BBC Woman's Hour broadcast was heard by Britta Von Zweigbergk, the art therapist at Bexley Hospital.

She had known Cynthia as a patient and a friend and had kept 122 drawings done by her during the four years up to the time of her death.

Cynthia Pell - The Bexley Hospital Drawings is a companion to the earlier publication and, as well as reproducing many of the drawings, includes memories of Cynthia by those who cared for her while in hospital.

A memoir published in 2005, and containing a lengthy section about the author's time working in Bexley Hospital.

Sarah Pat O'Brien's father walks out of her life when she is seven years old. All that remain are dreams of where he might be and when he will return to rescue the family from the poverty, disease and discrimination they suffer.

But he doesn't come back; and with the promise of a better life, they leave Dublin for England, like so many in the 1950s. Years on, when Sarah Pat has children of her own, her shadowy memories drive her to trace her father. A long and painful search reveals he was a soldier, a boxer, a poet - and a bigamist.
