Spring Lamb


Recently, I was asked by fellow artist Sarah Jane Szikora if I would be able to take part in the Mansion House Art Sale to raise much needed funds for the Alzheimer's Society.

The Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading charity caring for people with all forms of dementia and their carers. 1 in 3 people over the age of 65 will die with dementia. They need to raise funds urgently to support more people, fund research and campaign for the rights of those living with dementia.

Artists were given an A5 postcard on which to create their image and as Spring is (hopefully) around the corner I chose to portray a Spring lamb. This is one of my cousin's Hollin Bank flock. This year's new arrivals are due this week so if the weather manages to warm up I shall be visiting them.

The sale is Friday 18th March and if you want to offer a bid you can contact Zoe Thomas who is the community fund raiser for the North East. E: zoe.thomas@alzheimers.org.uk
