This page is dedicated to my art, but it IS World Ovarian Cancer Day today (8 May), and - as an ovarian cancer survivor - I couldn’t let that pass without saying anything at all.

Recognise the BEAT symptoms of ovarian cancer; it doesn’t have to be silent killer:

B is for bloating that doesn’t come and go

E is for eating difficulty and feeling full more quickly

A is for abdominal and pelvic pain you feel most days

T is for toilet changes in urination or bowel habits.

With hindsight, I realise I had B and - just prior to my doctor sending me to A&E (the ER) - E. I was operated on less than 3 weeks later. I was, I am lucky. The cancer was caught at Stage 1. But I was advised to have chemotherapy nevertheless. Which is why I’m so happy in this video that my hair is growing back.

SOLD 🔴

“Kyiv Independent”. 20 x 20 cm, acrylic and alcohol ink on cradled board.
All proceeds from the sale of this piece were donated to The Kyiv Independent newspaper in Ukraine.

Further to a very special request that I simply couldn’t refuse, I’m heading off to Italy to hand deliver this piece to its new home. And taking a week’s holiday by Lago Maggiore, which should be just stunning at this time of year.

Did you know that 8 May is World Ovarian Cancer Day?? It’s also Mothers’ Day for much of Europe.

What better moment to buy one of the remaining pieces from my 28ish February Flowers collection - all profits will be donated to an Ovarian Cancer charity (unless you specify another OC charity, the money from sales in May will be donated to “Target Ovarian Cancer” in the U.K.

Don’t wait - please help me to help others. And welcome one of these lovely artworks into your home.

Sometimes a painting works better when it is cropped to a smaller size. Which is a pain if I’ve used canvas or wood as the substrate. But for works on paper, I have few qualms about cutting the painting to the size that works. And the ”left-over” painted paper? Perfect for making a greeting card.

Also, my studio “assistant” wouldn’t budge from the spot with the best natural light.

Fine art print of my mixed media painting "The OE". €60 with free worldwide shipping; €50 if you can collect in Brussels, Belgium or Bury St Edmunds in the U.K.

"The OE" was a painting that I completed when following Tracy Verdugo's on-line mini-class "Animalitos" in early 2017. The original painting was created using layers of acrylic ink, collage and acrylic paint. I absolutely adored watching her emerge from the chaos layers. The original hangs in my house.

For each purchase, €20 will be donated to the Butterfly Schools in Cambodia (through my monthly donation). For more information on this small not-for-profit visit www.helpchildrencambodia.com.

This archival quality print has been printed using Digiprint technology and Ultrachrome Pro Inks on 308g Hahnemühle Photo Rag®️.

This is an open print run (not a limited edition). Each print is hand-titled and signed. I have a limited number of 30x30cm (12x12 inch) prints currently in stock. This size fits nicely into an IKEA Ribba frame - please note that the printed area is 27x27cm.

Due to the thickness of the paper, the print will be shipped to you flat. The print (which is in a clear sealed bag) is protected by cardboard or 3mm foam core inside a cardboard envelope.
