When I was little I remember having a great adventure in my Grandparents garden. My sister Sue and I saw flying fish hovering above the pond. I remember going in and telling the adults we’d seen flying fish, they didn’t believe us! Years later while walking on Brighton beach I found a beautiful dead fish, taking out a scrap of paper I drew it, then threw it into the sea. Painting it later I placed it in the sky, flying over red flowers.  It was one of my eternal paintings, the beautiful fish was a picture of ‘The Resurrection’, an ongoing theme within my work.

This couple I remember specifically. The Man was I think an angel, he was tall and handsome, he told me he worked for a charity. He looked into my eyes kindly and asked . If you could do anything what would you do? I’d paint Was my instant reply. He continued to look at me and said. Don’t waste your talents. The following day I chatted over my dreams. I’d always painted, yet now everything had changed. I felt helped and guided in my destiny. As a youngster at Sunday school I was taught to be kind to everyone as The Bible said they may be angels in disguise. The couple I was serving I always believe we’re Angels In Disguise..
