"WAITING" (12% of the sale for York Charity,) This is an Original, and professionally framed 7" x 5" oil painting.

I am an artist born in Yorkshire and trained through the Royal Academy of Arts in London, where I was awarded the last Turner Gold Medal for painting. I have a passion for my Art, both Drawing and Painting. I want my art to tell a story. I am now in the "WHOS WHO IN ART", the “DICTIONARY OF INTERNATIONAL BIOGRAPHY“, and the “WORLD'S WHO'S WHO OF WOMEN”, as I am recognised to be one of “Britain's leading artists.”

I was asked by a clergyman in York if I could support Charities that feed and support those in food poverty. It is a 12% donation. A painting such as this takes me 2 - 3 weeks to complete.

The practical spirituality evident in all Faiths, is a focus on seeing God in everyone, especially the marginalised, the elderly, single parents, and the poor. For such people, poverty includes social isolation. I believe we all have a responsibility to each other, by being open and receptive to each other, to allow others into our lives. To be free enough to share in the lives of others. Not to fear them, nor despise them, but to share ourselves with them. St. Francis taught us that we need to come to know and alleviate all the different areas of poverty. Of sharing gifts and needs, and through this way encountering a Mystery.

I heard someone say, "the privileged have responsibilities, and need integrity".
