The best part of exhibiting is meeting with everyone that has come out to support me and check out the new work, seeing friends and clients and making new connections! It’s not just a social event but a real opportunity to see how people relate to the work, it’s really quite a privilege!
Thanks to everyone who was able to take some time out of their weekend to swing by, for the gift of home made ice cream sandwiches, the sprig of mimosa, and most of all your warm response and interest!

My painting, Blooming Orchard, was purchased by collectors from Monte Sereno!
Love seeing all these paintings and people out to see these paintings. The people are just as diverse as the work, and what lovely contrast, the life and colour on the walls, the life and colour milling about. Exhibitions are so different from the solitary nature of the life of the artist in the studio. I do hope you can slip back into your peaceful studio and creature more splendour for us to gaze upon.
