Hello,

My name is Mike. My Mum, Mary was responsible for this blog. Mary sadly passed away from lung cancer on the 16th of October. She was 58 years old.

She had been painting five dollar notes for 6 years. It gave her a lot of pleasure to paint the five dollar notes and “release them into the wild”. When her art started appearing on numerous Australian and international websites, she was overjoyed. She was very happy to receive emails and comments and requests for five dollar notes.

As is plain to see, she was a brilliant artist and incredibly creative. She brought a lot of joy to me, to her friends and everyone who saw her work online.

There will be no more five dollar notes posted on this blog.

Mike
