I can’t believe the exhibition has been and gone already. What a whirlwind! The three days have now turned into one big blur but I learned quite a lot from the experience. One lesson I learned was early on the first day. Lots of people asked if my images were paintings and they all seemed … Read more…
Day three was quieter and slower then the previous two but I still had fun. A few familiar faces had come back with relatives or friends to show them my work and that made me feel quite proud. My favourite part of the three days has to have come today though. My seven year old … Read more…
Day two is done and dusted. It was a quieter day today but the atmosphere was still buzzing. One thing that I have noticed over the last two days is that children are drawn to my images. I see them looking from all over the room. I spoke to one nine year old boy about … Read more…
Just like that, day one of the exhibition is over. It has been an interesting experience, so far. I’ve most enjoyed talking with people about my art and what they see in it and hearing which one is their favourite. Another favourite part was selling a piece.

I decided on a few different criteria to assist me in my decision making process. The first criteria, in all probability also the most obvious, was that they had to be of the highest quality, … Read more…
