1/ Over the Christmas holiday I decided to create 8 new watercolour paintings from my favourite travel adventures of 2025! I choose my favourite photos to create these new artworks, which are more in-depth than my usual sketchbook drawings / paintings - taking 4-5 hours to complete each!

2025 has been an epic, exhausting, exciting whirlwind of adventures - I can’t wait to see what 2026 brings! 🎇

1/ #ERASMUS+ gives incredibly valuable opportunities for education, training & development to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as university students. I am extremely glad that the government have put ideology asside to invest in our youth!

"If leaving the ECHR is meant to be about booting out criminals, it will have the reverse effect and it will make it easier for criminals to come to the country. Just like Brexit, it's going to backfire. Remember, with Brexit, immigration was meant to go down, and trade".

Today we handed in over fifty-five thousand signatures at Downing Street, calling on the government to keep Britain in the European Convention on Human Rights. Leaving it would put us alongside Russia and Belarus. Britain must stand for justice, not isolation.

When the UK left the EU, we lost valuable opportunities for youth.
YEM are campaigning to ensure we restore the opportunities we once had. We are launching our open call for artists to submit their vision for a united future for European youth. More info & apply:
