Echoing Alex’s words that todays “substack”and the eulogy , enlarges one’s view of you as an eloquent & philosophical writer along with your exquisite paintings, prints , watercolours, sketches books ,murals also teaching your many skills in workshops you run. All this with raising your amazing daughter too, who benefits from your passion for art and creativity…..

I only know you from the picture book course Caroline but I am sincerely moved by your tribute to your brother. I only hope you are getting lots of support from others as you navigate the rocky journey of grief (especially with sudden loss). I am so sorry. What beautiful words you write about him and share him with others. He seemed like a brilliant brother. Much love x

I'm very aware I don't know you very well Caroline, but this is so beautifully written, and I am so sorry you lost your brother, I had no idea. He must leave a huge gaping hole, he sounded a very good bro. Xx

Thank you Julie - it’s so strange to remember he’s not here and so much easier to pretend he is…he was the best brother indeed 💕
