I really enjoyed creating the below murals.

Afflecks Palace, Manchester. 2012 

Afflecks Palace in 2012. 

 

This was my first time using spray paint, albeit, car spray paint. The wall was provided by the Mojito Bar manager, a kind Hearted Italian. I made friends with the staff there after a waitress named Andy said my drawing reminded her of a ayuascha vision. I spent many evenings in the bar drawing and selling prints. I would sit with a brilliant Mexican painter and tattoo artist who painted the bodies of tourists. The welcoming atmosphere made it a home from home. I enjoyed watching live music and have fond memories of a trumpet player who slept in the jungle, neither of us could speak each others language, but we shared smiles and traded artwork for a knitted wallet.

Mural Painted at Akumal School, Mexico 2018 during Akumal Arts Festival. 

This is a photo of me, the kids and the headteacher. I spent a few days painting being surrounded by mainly inquisitive young girls and the cutest stray dog puppy who would run around with kids at play time.
I was part of Akumal Arts festival as an exhibiting artist. I hadn't planned to paint a mural, but at the end of the festival i really wanted to leave something there for the community after they had hosted us all with such generosity and warm hearts. Akumal homes some of the kindest people, they have little money but are rich in heart and spirit.
The festival wanted to add colour to the town but the artwork only enhances the vibrancy of the people and culture that is already there.
