Sane Creative Awards Scheme

 Good news!

I've been awarded the SANE Creative Awards Scheme, which is to continue a series of three paintings based on a trip to Monaco in 1995.

The first is finished, and I'm currently in the studio working on the second.

These paintings address the juxtaposition of life experiences as a carer being denied any income for caring; indeed, in my latest carer's assessment, because Carer's First know that I can't live on zero income / benefits / clapping, they have decided that I no longer care! How convenient for them! This is subject to a complaint.

The Monaco paintings address former experiences of economic and narcissistic abuse, which led to my eventual experience as a single parent, as the holiday to the South of France and Monaco were compensation for having my entire first wages coerced from me for my then boyfriend's gambling debts. 

The wages were being saved up for my first driving lessons, and I never got them back. When my ex father-in-law discovered what he had done, I was invited on holiday as compensation.

I stood in the presence of the Octopussy super yacht, and great wealth, an experience that contrasts greatly with how I am treated as an #ExcludedUK artist and a carer denied any income, but as an artist who follows the Law Of Attraction, and aims for prosperity, abundance, and wealth.

Second Monaco painting in progress. 

I need some neon pink acrylic for the sky, and I decided that the hair needs to be gold leaf, so this is the next stage. I keep seeing that burgundy Maserati around the city, so there goes my car ownership aspirations. 

The Monaco paintings are also inspired by Norwegian artist Hariton Pushwagner, as it's important that artists can travel for work, and discover artists outside of their own location, not limited and restricted to their local art scene, and Pushwagner is an artist I discovered on my travels to Oslo.

My aim is to complete the second and third Monaco paintings, and to enter one for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition - the funding will cover the cost of entry fees and shipping costs.

This was going to be for this year, but will now be next year.

The idea is for it to be sold to a gallery that exhibits international artists' work in Monaco, and to eventually be able to return, hopefully for Monaco Art Week.

Ironically, the evil Bulb debt has now transferred to Octopus Energy.

I'm now fighting Octopus for compensation for the stress caused and time taken from my business to deal with admin.

Octopus Energy is the new James Bond supervillain! Unless it does what I've asked, and writes off the debt passed on by Bulb...
