As a New Year approaches, we take a little time to reflect on the year just past, along with thoughts & plans for the year ahead.
2017 has been a year of challenges & rewards and we look back with sincere thanks to all our clients, supporters and followers.
Friends of ANCHOR was our chosen charity as they celebrated 20 years. Both Mary & Howard along with 18 other artists joined the #20for20 voyage and painted their individual anchors as a memory or a dedication to someone close.
14 of these special Anchors went on to be sold at very special evening & auction held at The Chester Hotel on the 26th Nov 2017. Colin Slessor was the auctioneer for the evening and a staggering £349,000 was raised from the #20for20 Anchors that helped the Dream Big Campaign achieve its £1 Million target.

Howard's "The Artist's Garden" was sponsored by the John Clark Motor Group, who went on to purchase the anchor for their head office, for an amazing £28,000.
Mary's "We Are Stardust" sponsored by Stewart Milne Homes, was purchased by the Wood family for The Chester Hotel for another awesome figure of £22,000.
The Artist's Garden - Howard's Summer Exhibition raised further funds from our customers who purchased a specially signed "June Borders - Crathes Castle" Along with the gifted "The Artist' Garden" original acrylic that was auctioned at the Friends of ANCHOR Masquerade Ball. Making a combined total of over £70,000 from the family raised for Friends of ANCHOR
