Invest in Futures Gala Diner (Part II)

I'm delighted to inform you that my painting went for £7500. All the money will go to support the vital work of the Prince's Trust and I'm so happy to return the help that they gave me 3 years ago!!

I'm still to know who was so generous but no doubt I'll have to paint him or her the nicest portrait ever!!

Thank you for all those people you attended the event and whose generosity will enable The Trust to help change the lives of over 800 disadvantaged young people – an astonishing achievement.

The painting here, Carolina, was used in the catalogue for this year's Invest in Futures Gala Diner 2008.

Invest in Futures Gala Diner 2008 (Part I)

I had the pleasure to donate a painting for the Invest in Futures Gala Diner 2008 which took place the 6th November. All the money raised in the auction will go to the Prince's Trust. The photo here shows the area I had during the reception to promote my lot.

Invest in Futures Gala Diner is the central fundraising event of the Prince's Trust, raising over £1 million every year to support the vital work of The Trust. This exclusive dinner is attended by leaders of the hedge fund and global finance communities as well as Prince’s Trust celebrity ambassadors.

The 30 lots in the silent auction included not only a portrait by me (lot 3) but also lots like a guitar signed by the Rolling Stones; a transatlantic crossing on board Queen Mary 2 for two; a signed lithograph by HRH The Prince of Wales; two kilograms of the World's Most Exclusive caviar (worth £6000) or meeting Donatella Versace at Milan's Fashion Week.

The live auction lots included amongst others: Flying with the Red Arrows and a stunning Asprey Necklace.

AIR GALLERY (Private View)

It has been a great honor to be selected for this exhibition as one of the representatives of the business supported by the Prince's Trust.

Nearly 200 people visited the gallery in Mayfair. There were three night dedicated to celebrities, Prince's Trusts mentors and people from the financial world in London.

From the celebrities I really enjoyed meeting Eric Knowles (Antiques Road Show) and Julian Glover (actor) With both I had wonderful and fun conversations!

Amongst others in attendance were Sir Peter Blake, artist who famously designed the cover of the Beatles' Sgt Pepper's album (he said he enjoyed my painting!), Dame Diana Rigg, actress, Tamsin Egerton and Tallauh Riley, stars of the St Trinian’s film, Helen Worth, Gail from Coronation Street and Tracey Edwards, round-the-world yachtswoman.

This exhibition has given me another boost of energy and confidence to keep pursuing my dream. Both my paintings 'Family in the Park' and the portrait of Prince Charles were enjoyed by the viewers and were a focal point of conversation.

I have also met other incredible artists whom I hope to keep in touch with in the future.

Many thanks to Louis Gargour from LNG Capital who sponsored the exhibition!
