I was reminded this week of the value of true friendship after I spoke with Mark Priestley who was with me at UEL 2007/10. Having spoken with Mark I felt grounded and truly anchored to the reality of what it is we all try to achieve. We support each other and look forward to seeing Mark soon.
I have elected to leave my studio at HOFS for a variety of reasons, the journey, cost and interruptions to my studio practice. Since graduating in 2010 I have benefitted from being in a seed bed environment being supported, and nourished by the understanding and affection of my fellow artists. The test of our relationships will be after I have left the group, that we will still remain in contact and seek each other, I shall miss the daily contact with them all. I have come to love and trust them.
I move into my newly refurbished studio a my house by the end of June and already it feels like home with enough natural daylight with the convenience of being able to work in the studio in unsociable hours.
The early mornings are my dream with each day bringing a fresh perspective and quiet time to reflect before the drum of life starts to beat.
Question: Why are 93% of the buyers of my art women? I have my own theory but would love to share your ideas.
