Happily existing in amongst my dreams.
Impacted by my father's Alzheimer's and hoping for better for everyone with dementia. Learning how to reduce my risk and face my fears.
Love art, dogs and the sea. And possibly having a mid-life crisis.

After a dreadful week with my Dad's Alzheimer's, I'm going to post my art here, because why not.
