We have lift off!

"See me... then see Me" by Melissa Mailer-Yates
Number Nine The Gallery, Birmingham, UK
8 March - 1 April 2007

Wow.

This continues to be one of the most amazing experiences of my life, and it just keeps on giving.

On 8 March, the exhibition launched to the public. The show contains 30 pieces. All are for sale. Some of the models have MS. Some do not. And that's really the point - you can't tell who has MS just by looking at these pictures.

Melissa's talent is breath-taking.

Watch the video (above) and you'll know I'm no art critic, so I'm not even going to try.

Please, if you get the opportunity, go and see the exhibition for yourself. It's at Number Nine The Gallery, 9 Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2JA until 1 April 2007 (excluding 14 March).

The chap in the film is my friend Grant (who fortunately can pronounce 'Classicism' correctly).

And there are lots of photos from the night too!

Both paintings of me and many others from this collection are for sale. The two pieces in which I appear are entitled Classicism and Blue Mood. If you are interested in purchasing either picture please contact Lee at Number Nine the Gallery at lee@numberninethegallery.com.
