Your insight that you have and the brutally honest way in which you tell your story, have opened my eyes to the special qualities that my children possess, and make no mistake, there are more good ones than problematic ones! Thank you so much for affecting our lives in such a positive way! Anna Hi Donna,

Just a quick word to let you know how Nobody Nowhere changed my life – I’m a mother of two children on the spectrum. Your insight that you have and the brutally honest way in which you tell your story, have opened my eyes to the special qualities that my children possess, and make no mistake, there are more good ones than problematic ones!

Thank you so much for affecting our lives in such a positive way!

Anna

So now it will become even more well know, so yes, part of it's life story for paintings, I'm sure, have them too. as for their magic, yes, that's why the one you have is from the Dreamscapes collection. Perhaps there's something in that. My sculpture mentor and tutor says my work is symbolic and metaphysical. That I paint a kind of hyper normality. I always said autism is 'normality' with the volume turned up.

Okay, I know I'm showing off now, but I can't help it. I find looking at your paintings kind of soothing.Bit like watching the changing faces of the ocean. The beauty of this ,is that I just have to go into my loungeroom for this awesome experience.
