YOU & ME photo project
I`ve always wanted to do an art project with my relatives no matter where you are in the world or level of artistic leanings! at last I `ve got one its simple and easy just draw, write, arrange pebbles, make a s sign saying YOU and ME send me the photo and you will be in our Art show as part of Auckland Art Week.
It can be with friends, family or anyone you like, its up to your imagination and about having some fun!! It will be projected up to 60square metres as well as be on the arts menagerie website plus the family website. It can be a sign, handwritten on a piece of paper, cxhalk on a wall, pebbles or written in the sand or anything else that is easy.    www.facebook.com/theartmenagerie
Family research has taken a bit of a back seat for a while, but I have been busy working on new projects, art shows and products as part of my business. Just learnt how to edit videos so hopefully there wil be family orientated videos soon, the first is Painting in Circles showing my paintings plus I created a new Arts Collective called The Arts Menagerie apart from its diverse membership, there are no fees or any public funding. Its a private initiative for artists to cooperate with each other in major events and exhibitions.
Its also on Facebook, you are welcome to join in and see what else I am doing.

WHO IS MY GRANDFATHER?    If my interest in family history and genealogy has a starting point it was to find who my Dad`s birth Father is.  Most people have the luxury of knowing who their Parents and Grandparents are, for those that don`t  it can leave a huge gap which a simple piece of knowledge can start to fill. TV programs like `Who do you think are`  and  `Missing pieces` are helping to create an understanding why it is important and relevant to future generations.  Some may consider it a pointless exercise that  will not succeed, but in many ways it already has.
I am collating all the information I have so far relating to Dad`s origins including Chinese in Timaru, Politics, Laws, Time line, Rumours, Facts, comments, emails, Sue Lee Gardens, names of workers, Society at that time. This will be uploaded shortly. update 20 April 2013 There aren`t many clues about who my Dads father is, the precious few have taken countless hours to discover. Today I got a phone call which left me stunned. Not only are there photo albums of the Chinese in Timaru from the 1930`s, some include George Lum, but even more amazingly a lady who worked at Sue Lee Gardens is living in Timaru, same age as Dads mother May when she gave birth to Dad.
