National Youth Arts Trust silent auction

Fernando is very pleased to have a painting in the National Youth Arts Trust online Art Auction. His painting Tide is listed in the silent auction.

The National Youth Arts Trust work to make the Arts accessible to all – regardless of family wealth or where you are born. Sadly though, many talented young people are prevented from following their passions by a lack of financial support, with the performing arts becoming less and less diverse as a result.

NYAT is working hard to change this.

Your support will help more young people realise their potential in the Arts. Please bid generously!

Book Cover for American writer Philip Minehan

I feel incredibly privileged to be asked to produce an image for Philip Minehan’s well received book. It has been a fascinating experience and a great honour…
“Philip Minehan’s masterful and lucid comparative analysis is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the bloody mid-20th  century civil wars in Spain, Yugoslavia and Greece, which influenced the Mediterranean region until the end of the century. This first book by Minehan is a highly recommended tour de force.”
–Ivan Berend, Distinguished Professor, History Department, University of California at Los Angeles
 Philip B. Minehan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
