I'm off to Christchurch for about two weeks tomorrow to help with Escalade, a fundraising and awareness exhibition by Artists Against Slavery to help fight the tragedy of modern day slavery. Please read more about this extremely worthy cause by following the link to Beverly Claridge, Fine Artist.
I wanted to use this post to not only thank those that follow this blog, but to reassure you that I have not abandoned ship!! I've simply been in the studio painting like a mad woman in order to get several paintings completed, not only for the 2010 Ephemeral Perception solo exhibition at ArtSouth in Gore, but also to participate in some national and international contests as well. As much as I love looking at and reviewing other's exhibitions, my calling is to create art.
And I've been networking as well. I've been talking to and meeting with lots of different Southland and artists throughout New Zealand. All this networking has helped me realise that I love meeting and getting to know other artists. That is why I've decided that this blog will take a slightly different direction.
Rather than do a simple review of exhibitions in Southland and the Great South, I've decided that I'd much rather interview and post the result of those interview on this blog. This change will take place sometime in August and because of my heavy painting schedule my goal is to post twice a month. So stay tuned. I'm really looking forward to meeting Great South visual artists. If you know one I should be getting to know, please contact me.
Blessings.
