Since school days I have very much enjoyed Art, In fact i excelled in it. I liked the freedom of expression it gave me without being direct or confrontational. The idea of art being an emotional outlet helped me through my teenage years. I am always happiest when painting.
Now, having a four and two year old art work is becoming a regular activity within our household.

First Sundays is a monthly exhibition of storytelling which takes place at The Royal Naval College, which recently featured the magnificent exhibition Gaia; Luke Jerram’s awe-inspiring art installation Gaia. This monumental internally-lit sculpture, measuring seven metres in diameter, was created using 120dpi NASA imagery and is an exact scale replica of our planet. Sadly was only featured in the painted hall for just over 1 month! Not long enough if you ask me!! 1st July was the last day to view.
