Hello everyone, this is Isabella and Joshua and we are Anna's children (feels weird using her first name, we're moms kids)

I would like to start by thanking everyone for your kind words and the help we have received already from Mom's friends and the community she was a part of.

It has been very very hard and i'm sure that quite a lot of you have seen joshua and i before because mom took us everywhere. Workshops, galleries, private views, meetings, parties.

I asked mom once "mom i don't think so-and-so wants you to bring your kids along to this event" and mom looked at me, grabbed my hand, kept walking down the road and said "people know when they invite me, they're inviting the three of us"

My mom did so much for people, creating safe places to learn and explore art, creating children's art clubs and groups so that her children would never lack in the creative department but also so that people knew and loved art, fostering a care, kindness and confidence for themselves and their creativity.

We miss our mom, we miss our mom so so much. There aren't words.

Everyones stories, photos and generosity has been deeply appreciated and i'm looking forward to hearing and seeing more.

The point of starting this go fund me was due to queries on how to and where to help.

Joshuas has just started his GCSE's,

I ( Isabella) am finishing up my first year of university doing fine art and making mom proud and planning her memorial,

and our granny is looking out for us.

The money raised will go into looking after us but also towards moms memorial and moving her studio and equipment.

I would like to thank you all again and I know we will all miss my mom and everything she did. I will post updates when they come.

warmest wishes from us!
