“Painting has sustained Tori through the challenges of the past year and her positive approach to life and passion for art is an inspiration to all of us.

“Her disability doesn’t hold her back in any way, instead it makes her more determined to achieve her very best. Her beautiful painting will be a fitting legacy to my term as Mayor and I’m glad her work will be enjoyed by visitors to the Mayor’s Parlour for years to come.”
