Morning of 10th July I had the pleasure of visiting my old secondary school, St Ignatius 6th Form College and gave a little speech during the morning assemble. I gifted the school with two of my Limited Edition Prints of the late Heroic Stephen Sutton and the Noble soul that was Mother Teresa.
It’s such a surreal feeling to once again visit the grounds I spent most of my younger years. The welcome and the praise left me speechless and almost brought me to tears. I was particularly emotional do to the fact that whilst I was schooling there, I would have never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would be coming back to visit being in the position I am today. I wasn’t the most academic nor was I the most popular of talented. But what that school instilled within me were morals and values that encouraged and lifted me to greater heights despite not conscientiously knowing whilst I was there.
I’m very thankful for my time and experience at St Ignatius. I wish every student there and every student all over the world all the very best in your future endevours. We unfortunately live in a world that designs us to live on the surface and focus on things that aren’t from within. I hope and pray that you fight against this and have the courage to live out your dreams.
It has been a week since my episode on Extraordinary Portraits aired on BBC One and I’m still on a blissful high! The response from the public has been unbelievable! So many heartwarming messages that I’m still making time to respond to.
I received an email from a BAFTA Award winning UK production company called Chatterbox.
I am extremely delighted to share with you all that my drawing of Kate Moss sold at the Bonhams British.
