In the last 18 months I was able to donate almost £90,000 to conservation causes and projects through print sales and art donations… Because of YOU!!! Without your encouragement, support, likes, shares (and purchases 😂), there’s no way I’d be doing what I’m doing today and

12 years ago today we held my mum’s hands and said goodbye for this lifetime. 12 years of missed birthdays and weddings and babies and heartbreak and laughter. 💙 Here’s one of my favourite photos of her when she was younger.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about when I was a grumpy teenager and would snap at my mum. Silly little things, but when you lose a parent as a teenager, you can’t go back and apologise as an adult. If your parents are still alive, go tell them you love them today, for me. ❤️

Shame on you @BritishVogue for glamourising this. Real or fake, encouraging the use of animals as commodities and fashion items and therefore encouraging the poaching and hunting of vulnerable and endangered species… One step too far for the fashion industry.

Women’s art sells for considerably less, they’re underrepresented in galleries/museums and make up a tiny percentage at art fairs/auctions. The most expensive piece of man-made art dwarfs the most expensive piece of woman-made art by more than $400 MILLION. Not on my watch!
