150 members (including Paul Smith, Peter Blake, Ralph Steadman, Theo Fennell, Ken Howard, Gray Jolliffe, Adrian George and Glen Baxter, so I am in good company!) were given these small canvases to paint, to be exhibited from Tuesday, and then auctioned for The Artists’ General Benevolent Institution.

I started off just doing the bright one - and decided I would do a less conspicuous one also to be paired together to make more impact!
Being first and foremost a fashion designer I thought both colour ways would give people a choice!
There was a huge audience at the Chelsea Arts Club on the launch day. I wanted to take photos but as it's a private club it's not allowed.
There will be a fashion show with catwalk models, a silent auction of the work, and later live music on Wednesday the 22nd of Feb so I'll find out then how much each of the canvases raised for charity. All money raised will go towards the AGBI, and CAC Trust.

Bidding can be made by both members and non-members, so if you see something that takes your fancy, put in a bid!
