2/ I canβt wait for the travel adventures 2026 will bring! You can see all of my landscape artworks on my website: www.madeleinakayart.com/landscapes
1/ Over the Christmas holiday I decided to create 8 new watercolour paintings from my favourite travel adventures of 2025! I choose my favourite photos to create these new artworks, which are more in-depth than my usual sketchbook drawings / paintings - taking 4-5 hours to complete each!
2025 has been an epic, exhausting, exciting whirlwind of adventures - I canβt wait to see what 2026 brings! π

2/ If you want to know how ERASMUS+ funding was spent in your area, check out the National Campaign for ERASMUS+'s new search tool: fundedbyerasmus.co.uk
1/ #ERASMUS+ gives incredibly valuable opportunities for education, training & development to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as university students. I am extremely glad that the government have put ideology asside to invest in our youth!

"If leaving the ECHR is meant to be about booting out criminals, it will have the reverse effect and it will make it easier for criminals to come to the country. Just like Brexit, it's going to backfire. Remember, with Brexit, immigration was meant to go down, and trade".
My most recent performance with the βHate Dressβ for Eduxo.eu - European Network for Democracy and Equalityβs event countering violence against women at the Italian Cultural Institute in Brussels.
