​

Evershed's Office's in Cardiff organised a Charity Auction in Aid of Barnardo's with Sculptors, Painters, and Creators of all forms of Art donating Artwork for Charity.  Money raised helped transform the lives of vulnerable children through the amazing work that Barnardo's does. 

 
This is the Painting I sold for Charity at this Auction, "Madison" 8"x8" Acrylic on Canvas, 2010.

​

It was originally done because of how a photograph of a homeless man hugging a dog moved me to tears.  It became a symbol for me of how vulnerability does not equal weakness or dependence, his dog is the dependent and the friend, someone to care for.  I named it "Madison" after Kirsty MacColl's song Walking down Madison.



It raised £40 for Barnados. 



Special thanks to Ali Powell for including me in the special event, and to Evershed's.
