The Alice Martineau Appeal in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust

Three years ago my sister Alice died from Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 30. Alice had just signed a record deal with Sony and had released her debut album Daydreams to critical acclaim. She was an extraordinary individual with a great sense of purpose and a wicked sense of humour.

To launch an appeal fund in her memory, I designed an alphabetical series of paintings entitled 'A is for Alice' celebrating her life, character and achievement (examples in the gallery).

The Alice Martineau Appeal was officially launched by the Duchess of York in June 2004, and has since then raised around £500,000. If you want to find out more about Alice and Cystic Fibrosis, please go to alicemartineau.com, where you can also buy posters and postcards of the 'A is for Alice' series for the benefit of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
