A Grimsby Girl’s World Tour series has included imagined journeys to Bogota, Colombia, Tokyo, Japan, outer space, Copenhagen, Denmark, Madrid, Spain, Brooklyn, NYC, USA, & Vancouver, Canada.
The Grimsby Girl is the artist’s Mum, Muriel May Stone who was born in an era when women had no right to vote. She had no chance to travel abroad in her lifetime and very few opportunities in life to pursue her artistic and musical interests. Muriel loved singing and was a talented contralto. She left school aged 13 and was apprenticed to a tailor. It was a hard life with no recognition of her talents as a seamstress. Here, she visits Bergerac in SW France
