EXHIBITIONS AND WEDDINGS

I haven't posted on here for ages, and apologies for my bad grammar but I'm tired, and off to bed very soon. I just seem to have been so busy for a few months and now it's a little more manageable, but I don't seem to be able to manage my time too well. I need lots of work to work efficiently! So what has been going on? I held my own exhibition at the Salthouse in St Ives and it went really well. I held a private view which lots of people came to, which was lovely. Lots of other people popped in during the week and although I didn't sell anything, I swapped two pieces and had a lot of interest from some really interesting people and loved chatting to people about the work. Debbie at the Plumbline and Orchard gallery in St Ives, chose 5 of the best pieces which will be on permanent exhibition there, until they sell and I can replenish. The rest are in Truro Arts in the Arts Cafe until the 3rd Dec.

I recently had some photos taken by my very talented and lovely artist / photographer friend Emma Griffin.
.....and then there was a proposal... my boyfriend asked me to marry him, so we are to be married next year! All very exciting, and I can't wait! or quite believe it! 

So my next move is to move house in January, to the South side! Where I will have a small studio that my boyfriend is insulating and making cosy for me. It's small but I will be painting in there, which I'm really looking forward to. Getting back into work and getting some new work on the go. I have to do some work to put into Bucca in Newlyn, with Sam Bassett, Jesse Leroy Smith and Henry Garfitt, which is really exciting. So a few things on, and a small count down to Christmas with some published work, some personal work and a commission or two, and lots of wedding planning! Back with more sometime soon (and hopefully news of new work very soon!).
