If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?
If I had a million dollars to give away, I would give it to:
Women’s aid: A National charity working to end domestic abuse against women and children.
Shelter: A charity that supports homeless people.
NAPAC: The National Association for people abused in childhood.
PTSD UK: Dedicated to raising awareness of PTSD.
All of the above, have helped, supported, and guided me through all of my childhood and adult traumatic experiences. I would not be here today without them ❤️🙏
This painting was completed in 2020. I visited the Calabria region of Italy several times, visiting a friend. I tried to capture the essence of Calabria; the food, the landscape, the architecture and the history.
What would you do if you lost all your possessions?
I lost all my possessions when I was 15yrs old. I know…what possessions does a 15yr old have? A few cuddly toys, my skateboard, toys, my diaries, and a scrapbook filled with my athletic certificates.
But, more importantly, I lost my home, my friends and my family.
Present day: the only possession I have from childhood is one photograph of myself when I was about three months old.
So in that sense, I didn’t lose everything!
I now have a lot of possessions; trinkets and souvenir’s from my travels. My home has all the usual practicalities. The walls of my home are adorned with all my paintings.
But, what I don’t have is a family. Therefore, I ‘feel’ I have lost more than possessions.
On a positive note, I have a roof over my head, I’m healthy, and I have good friends 🤗.
