A fictional account of the the author's real life experiences in the Brit Art world of the ’90’s


From the stuffy grandeur of Mayfair galleries and auction houses to the high octane gritty glamour of the Shoreditch Art World - the story charges with all the energy of a night at the Groucho Club in Soho.


Saskia Williams is earning a pittance as a curator at the Mayfair Gallery where she works & has big dreams for her place in the art world.


She also has some romanticised notions about the men in it & she won’t be derailed by a passion for vintage clothes that threatens to bankrupt her, nor her Home Counties mother determined to marry her off to the first willing candidate.


But she IS about to discover that there's more to the blank white canvases of her gallery’s latest installation & even more to the tall dark handsome man who’s just walked in & written a big fat cheque for the the lot!


Mystery, suspense & love amongst the easels - an insiders peep at what’s really going on behind the fame, the money & the non-stop partying of the Art World.

London’s Art world and its famous personalities are richly embroidered throughout the intriguing story line.
