The Covid19 pandemic is scary & bleak. Frightened by the overwhelming news and escalating global health crisis my brain went into over drive.

What happens if I die?

In a moment I realised all the work, years of art making, processing, creative self expression would be a pain in the arse for my family to go through. Art that I was proud of might hold nothing no meaning for them despite the fact I slaved over it.

I remember the moment distinctly, I was standing in our front room commonly referred to as my studio. I thought this will all end up in a skip or on a bonfire. The one thing I can offer the world is my creativity, my art and I have plenty and plenty to share. I literally decided to get my art out into the world and share it.
