Mike Budd enjoys playing guitar in a local band and in 2015 discovered a love of creating art.  Enjoying the relaxation and calming process of his work, he prefers to use pen and wash and although much of the demands of this album were outside of his normal “comfort zone”, he relished the challenge of being involved in something creative which also creates benefit for others.  Often enigmatic, his paintings perfectly enhance the content and theme of the album.
