An utterly INCREDIBLE and inspiring evening at the Shaun By The Sea auction The overall event raised whopping £750,602 for the amazing Martlets hospice, with my sheep, Bloom selling for £25,000! Massive congratulations to the fundraising team 🙌. It was an evening of all emotions, especially when Mark, an Martlets hospice outpatient took to the stage explaining the support that they provide him and that he had already visited their new facility and picked out his room. Mark made the evening for me.

It was so uplifting to surrounded by all the artists who I’d painted Bloom alongside. Supporting and cheering every Shaun on stage. Willing each one to make as much as it could. A massive plus side to this is experience has been making these new friends.

Martlets’ ambassador Fatboy Slim was also there. He works tirelessly for this charity, talks to everyone and stops for a photo whenever he is asked. You really see another side to these superstars at these events and he is passionate about Martlets. 🙌

One more shout out is to the BNJC who sponsored my sheep. They have been so generous to Martlets. Not only with their sponsorship but also all the workshops and having lots of the little sheep in their grounds.

I’m super proud to say Bloom raised £25,000 in fact writing that figure down has brought me to tears. Thank you all for the support as ever xx
