Dear Olivia and Sebastian,

I first met your Mum in 2007, I visited  Artlounge, a small gallery in Birmingham on the off chance of showing my work. In those few years we became friends, she always supported and helped me in work and in my personal life, generous and intelligent, she was a true friend.

Her art was of an exceptionally high standard, creating things of beauty seemed so natural to her, your Mum and your Dad kept a most stylish apartment  in Moseley for some years before moving to Bristol.

I particular remember one afternoon, Charlotte was painting in the studio and we drank pineapple smoothies, a true connoisseur of soft drinks.

Not only was she interested in the creation of art but also the promotion of her contemporaries, she would consider others before herself and introduced me to her agent Bill and deb.

I will always help you both, in any way I can, for your Mum and Dad.

Much love Andy Reid.
