Just catching up with everyone

  Hello Everyone, I am just letting you all know that soon I will be returning to work and that means more artworks and art lessons.

Learning to walking again is not an easy thing but the thought of returning to teaching Vis Arts to my students has been a strong motivation.

You support is also what motivates. Catch up soon with some Christmas artworks......
