So beautiful. Thank you for sharing your art and thoughts. I resonated with most of the regrets you listed, and really appreciated the 10 questions to keep in mind for the future.

We love the vulnerability and tenderness of the human experience we find in your art. I know that is why I was drawn to you several years ago. In the future you will only discover more and more magic and wonder.

I love all of these so much. I have so many more regrets than I wish I did, thanks to at least three decades of really bad decisions, and at my age I don't know how I will ever come out from under them, but I'm trying. And even on top of that, I can relate to at least half of yours. Being human is quite a thing, isn't it? Especially when you are one who cares too much, who feels too much, who sees too much.....which is who I have been all of my life. The old adage is so true - we grow wise too late and we grow old too soon. That, to me, is the navigation of the human experience in a nutshell. I'm always praying for new beginnings though, and the perpetual kid in me just can't ever quite give up on that idea, that somehow I may find redemption and restoration after all. Also, I love the fish balloons. :)

Gillian are you in Glasgow?

I’ve taught a couple of sessions at the RCS and would love to connect. Your project sounds wonderful x

Hi Caro! I’m continuing to live in Fife but I’ll be through for study and also work as my business is run from Glasgow. Would love a coffee! I took your memoir class at Alnwick btw ♥️
