David Hockney: The Bigger Picture
-
I have great excitement within me and am full of inspiration! The feast of contrasting colours and expressionism is one of the most vivid treats I have given my eyes in a long time, and it all came from visiting the David Hockney exhibition currently showing at the Royal Academy of Arts. Claimed to be Britain’s Greatest Living Artist, the Hockney exhibition lived up to that claim in my eyes – whilst bringing landscapes back into fashion.

Yesterday I headed into town for a meeting and the journey turned out to be as magical as the sunset.
A complete stranger connected with me in such a way that made me cry, made me appreciate life, gave me hope and encouraged me to take risks.
How? Why? Just because…

A few months ago I was at the Black Pearl Dinner sitting opposite a man named Brian. Brian wore a bracelet that was made up of red and White beads and looked like it was made by my 4 year old daughter. Intrigued I asked him what the story was with the bracelet and what he told me changed me and changed my life.
It turned out that an 11 year old boy with a brain tumour called Harry Moseley made that bracelet to raise awareness for his charity...

I was invited to attend ‘My Beautiful Ball’ a charity ball at The Savoy in aid of The Katie Piper Foundation. Little did I know that I would actually have the opportunity to meet the Patron – Mr Simon Cowell – himself.
Ever ready and prepared I had a business card in hand and used my 7 seconds of interaction to inform him what I did. And he got it! In 7 seconds, he knows I paint brands and bring them to life through...

Sometimes you have to switch off the laptop, close the office door and go and do something different. Last week I had a day like that and I took myself off to see Miro at the Tate Modern.
Appreciating art comes naturally to me, seeing Miro’s techniques and the work he has produced is an inspiration to me.

I was invited to be the final speaker at a creative practitioners workshop run by Clive Gross from www.arcanacoaching.co.uk. The workshop was in Hastings, which, as well as being a walk down memory lane for Duncan Bannatyne reasons, it also meant rather early tube rides which took me back to the good old commuting days within the wonderful world of marketing.
Upon arrival, with no delays and no signs of nerves within...

I have been lucky enough to hear about this wonderful 11 year old boy Harry Moseley who has an inoperable brain tumor and he wants to find a cure for cancer. His way of doing this is by raising money through the sales of bracelets that he makes out of beads in his tree house. And many famous people are clocking onto the concept and wearing his bracelets. (England players had them on over the weekend!)
His attitude and outlook is amazing...
