RETIREMENT PRESENTATION
Ian Whittikaer a Lancashire Music Service Area Leader Retired from his duties at Poulton Music Centre. Though semi-retired, he will continue to work with the music service. As a token of thanks, on behalf of myself and all that he has done for the youngsters on the Fylde Coast, a Pet Portrait of 'Bailey' his recently departed best friend was presented.

INSPIRATION
There are other subject areas that I am now currently interested in. This simple shot of an Peacock Butterfly found in my garage makes a starttling natural image, encompassing the details of the butterfly, wood texture and glass. This painting is almost finished and can be soon available as a print

Mission Statement"Painting since 1991, I strive to promote the ongoing efforts, care and dedication that volunteers of rescue organizations give to animals of neglect and abandonment. Through this, I hope my work will remain as a reward and historical testament to the ongoing services that they have provided, from the past, the present and into the future."

SET DESIGN
Apart from the natural history paintings produced at home, I'm also partial to a bit of set design. My current day job as a technician at a local secondary school enables me on occasions to use my art. But this isn't anything new. A number of years ago (when I was an art student) I produced large set designs for the British Coal Board First Aid Compeitions held in Yorkshire. Life sized paintings of quarries, shopping centres, country lanes were painted, together with additional props

TOP ACHIEVER AWARD FOR LOCAL ONLINE BUSINESS
Fleetwood Chamber of Trade and Commerce (in conjunction with Wyre Borough Council) ran a new initiative to help new businesses. They offered free advice in all areas of running a business. I went along wondering if I could turn my hobby into a business. Now, approaching a year on, that's exactly what I've done. Though I can't afford to give up my day job, the future is looking bright. Since then I have always had an ongoing commission. During the Christmas period, I have to turn work away as it is impossible to complete such short notice artworks. So the message is...Book Early!!
