It's his fault, that's OK, never too late for knowledge.

My journey started because of my husband’s love of art, he is always reading and going to museums.

In the picture is some of the art presented to him when he was working in China at the Quing Zhou School in Shandong province.

My picture is here as I couldn’t get him to do this, but that doesn’t matter as I love the arts as well, we are going to the Philippines soon so I hope to provide some of their art for display.

My reason is help the poorer artists because I know what it’s like to struggle in certain areas.

I have also discovered the wonderful art and culture of the Australian aboriginals, and spend a lot of time, too much maybe, looking at art shops and galleries now.

The painting of the cats is the only one of its kind in the world, the reason for this the artists in this area have their own style and structure.

This artist usually paints two cats with different coloured eyes, but this was done with three especially for him as he was the first foreigner to work in this area.

The smaller graphic is of a cast bronze mirror (another gift, he sure was popular) which is shiny on the other side; ladies of ancient times carried these with them and continually polished them with cloth.

Discovering the arts of the ancient people is a pleasure and a journey I will continue, especially in my home country.
