Comment: Marie Curie cancer care will receive a donation from the sale of my Giclee prints. Please have a look at my website and consider buying a Royal print, they are new to the UK, no other Artist has produced a similar collection, they are all produced to a high standard and stamped with the Fine Art Guild Logo. Buy one and you will be helping Marie Curie Cancer Care offer palliative care to those dying from terminal cancer.
