My solo art exhibition at The Asylum Art Gallery,
Wolverhampton, Friday 15 – 20 April 2016
I was so pleased with my art show at the Asylum, a great
turn out of about fifty people and five paintings sold (Depression I, Depression
III, Hope, Fish and Butterflies). What was most wonderful for me was all the
interest I received, how everyone wanted to talk to me about my work, they had
interesting questions and very intriguing remarks, it was so refreshing for me
to be able to discuss my art with intelligent, artistic, creative and likeminded
people, even the fact that I sold my favourite five works shows that there was
a strong connection between me and the viewers who came to my show. I was
touched so deeply by how the women in particular came and told me that every
painting had resonated with them, that they related to the work and were moved
by it. I couldn’t possibly receive a higher praise as I was working hard to
convey the complexity and depth of the female emotion and I’ve succeeded and I’m
very proud.I'm so grateful to The Asylum Art Gallery for believing in me and for all their moral and financial support, for all the time and effort put into making my show a success, they took care of the promotion, the printed flyers and posters, the online marketing, the labelling and hanging of the paintings, the drinks, the music (which was an amazing mix of Jazz - my favourite), the photography and the filming of the event.
