I’m delighted to be exhibiting a newly commissioned piece in Cure3 2025 to raise vital funds for Cure Parkinson’s.
“Do you know anyone with Parkinson's? Most people do, and it is not surprising when you look at the statistics: there are an estimated 8.5 million people living with the progressive neurological condition worldwide, and in the UK two people are told they have Parkinson’s every hour. Currently there is no cure.
As a call to action, art and science unite with Cure3 (Cure Cubed) the acclaimed contemporary art fundraising exhibition, established in 2017 and now in its fifth edition, devised and curated by Artwise in partnership with Bonhams to raise awareness and funds for Cure Parkinson's.
The unique concept for Cure3 centres around each artist being given a bespoke Perspex cube measuring just 20cm3 as a compact space to interact with in any way to create original artworks on or within. The resultant highly sought-after and collectable artworks are exhibited at Bonhams and sold online.
Cure Parkinson's is an inspirational and dynamic charity with a major goal to find a cure for Parkinson's. To date, thanks to the generosity of all the contributing artists, Cure3 has raised almost £2million for Cure Parkinson's to help fund research to slow, stop and ultimately reverse Parkinson's.
Parkinson's is a debilitating condition affecting over 153,000 people in the UK and 8.5 million people worldwide. It is a neurological disorder characterised by tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement and balance problems. Other symptoms can include mood changes, loss of sense of smell, chronic pain and sleep disruption. It is predicted that 1 person in 37 will receive a diagnosis of Parkinson's in their lifetime.”
