Local and global partnerships
As I've grown older, I've come to appreciate the value of grassroots community. The wisdom is true that before we can change the world, we have to tidy up our own house. Then we can slowly move outward, cooperating with our neighbours and making increasingly large waves.
If you're a business or individual interested in stocking my products, or commissioning me for an original painting or design, I'd love to hear from you! Contact me here.
