I’ve been with my partner (Henry) for the last 8 years since we were 16, and one of the first trips we took together was to Brighton.Trying to play it cool and impress me, Henry agreed to go on some rides at the pier (despite HATING rides 😅) but picked the smallest one thinking it would be a safe bet and he’d get through it ok. Well… he was in for a surprise.
This ride chucked us side to side, up and down, and all while being suspended over the sea which was terrifying. We came off the ride and laughed all the way back to our hotel – after buying a fridge magnet to remember the memory forever of course.
‘One summer we packed up and it felt like we were gone for the whole six weeks. My Mum and Dad loved being by the sea which is why Dad bought the VW Camper in bright orange. Off we went, me and my two brothers and my Mum and Dad, on Adventures. It isn’t until you are older you realise just what those little adventures meant along the way.’
Fatboy Slim. I can’t walk down this stretch of beach without thinking back to the first time I came down to Brighton in 1980 to see the Athina B shipwrecked. To 42 years of living here, filling it with people a couple of times, but most of all just watching the world go by. Whether I am running, jogging or just hanging out, this is my beach and I love it.
Rosie appears many times over in this painting and now is the owner of the original piece gifted to her as a surprise by her Dad Ray. Rosie has been undergoing treatment for breast cancer for a year and the completion of the painting coincided with her finishing her treatment. You will be able to spot Rosie and many of her family and friends in this piece as we worked together to get as many of their treasured moments in as we could. Rosie secretly asked to paint her and her Dad in having a hug on the Pier. Can you spot them?
5% of profits from the Special Proofs will be being donated to Barts Charity who have been supporting Rosie and her family throughout her treatment.
