Dee’s working to create a fully fulfilling future

DEE KEARNEY’S “Places of Peace” exhibition at Saddleworth Museum’s Uppermill gallery is a small finger in several creative pies.

Not content with her work as the outreach officer for Tameside Council’s economic development unit, Dee, from Shaw, also has her own production company, Fatale Films.

“Open Hand” is a script under development and about to go into production with David Ball on this psycho sci-fi thriller.

David has produced more than 50 films including a feature with American actor Wesley Snipes.

The company is currently seeking investment for the project and David, a producer for 30 years, is totally behind Dee’s script.

Dee’s children’s novel “Naverworld” is about to be published alongside a book of women’s poetry.

No small wonder then, she is about to become a women’s ambassador promoting enterprise.

She is very pleased that, as an up-and-coming female entrepreneur, she has been given this opportunity to fly the flag for women in business.

When Dee is questioned about her ambitions she will tell you that as a single parent struggling to bring up two children for the last 20 years, she has reached an age where failure is not an option or something to be feared.

“You assess what is the worst that can happen and decide whether you can live with it . . . then you go for it wholeheartedly,” is her dictum.

Dee’s dream is a warm place, a beautiful view, good friends and a well-stocked wine cellar, with the luxury of time to paint and write in complete peace.

She has made a pledge that when she reaches a million sales of her books she will donate one tenth of the profit to a children’s charity and a tenth to someone who has helped her achieve her dream by buying her books.

“Their dream for mine, hopefully,” she said.

Dee’s exhibition runs until November 18 alongside work by guest artists Patsy Allen and Kimberley Money.
