British Empire Medal
What an Honour ....
It gives me great pleasure to have been awarded the British Empire Medal on behalf of the Arts and Community in the Queen's birthday Honours of 2017
I have always said I wanted to be the 'People's Artist' making art accessible to everyone. I hope that others will see it as a reflection of my passion for Yorkshire, it's landscapes and people and as such the BEM truly belongs not just to me but to Yorkshire.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout the years, it means more than you will ever know ....
