After submitting a design to Shaun the Sheep on the Tyne, mine was one of the selected few and I got the opportunity to paint a 5ft statue of Shaun himself! My design 'Summer Stamps' was inspired by my childhood growing up in the North East of England, and plays homage to my hometown of Redcar and the surrounding areas. My design was sponsored by the company Fred Olsen Cruises and also includes paintings of the cruise liners and cruise destinations.

The sheep will be auctioned off in October 2023, with the money going towards St Oswald's Hospice, so I'm excited to see how much money my little Shaun can raise!
