I am so happy to have completed paintings on canvas and paper to hang in the new offices of TACT Bristol. The works will be displayed in their offices and departments involved in the delivery of TACT fostering and adoption charity activities. The works will be hang in board and panel meeting rooms, training rooms, family rooms, play rooms and administration offices. I am proud to have been commissioned to bring my artworks to these spaces. In the creation of the works I was mindful of the joy and pleasure I wanted each piece bring to all those engaged in the vital role that TACT plays in the welfare of young people in need.

First two paintings of new series depicting Afro Colombia, inspired by my daughter Esther's wonderful photographic eye, she has captured the feel of the place in some very special images.
 Ten works will be completed over next two months referencing perspectives on relationships in time and space. The narrative throughout addressing child and parent/carer exchanges in the context of the histories and stories, told and untold,
of the African diaspora.  Some of the prints commissioned The 30 prints have now been produced after much stressing and searching for images of long gone works, repairing badly stored works, photographing and finally getting to a decent printer. All done. I love the fact that Fresh Arts have selected from such a wide range of my works old and new, varied subject matter and styles. I am so delighted to have this opportunity to show my work in a situation so closely related to health and wellbeing. The new build will include regional centres such as Neurosurgery, Renal, Orthopaedics, Plastics and Adult Burns plus the A&E Dept which is moving from the old Frenchay hospital. 'An important and integral part of the building's design is the delivery of an arts programme that will ensure a calming, inspiring and beautiful environment for the benefit of our patients, their visitors and our staff. Fresh Arts has been commissioned to deliver this programme and we have been working closely with national and international artists and in collaboration with NBT's project team and the hospital construction contractors Carillion, to create sculptures and other public art for the building and its landscape'.

Archive of images
Documented work included in this archive dates back to the 80's predating my Foundation year at art school in 1992. I had made work for many years before this having attended art school in the 70's but not completed course, much of the work lost in time. I hope to build up the archive from previously unrecorded work, seek out works in private collections and add projects commissions, publications, exhibitions etc. AuthorI was born in London in 1950 my father Nigerian and my mother British. My first home was in a dark basement flat in the area of St Pancras. Before I reached the age of 5, and my brother still a baby, we were taken by our father to a children’s home in Suffolk where we spent the remainder of our childhood days. At sixteen alone and ignorant I was finally choked out into the world with little or no preparation on how to survive. Archives
