To all my collectors, Thank you!

I am having quite a bit of difficulty finding the right words to describe how amazing I think my first year venturing full time into my art practice has been so far. My first two shows of the year honoured me with awards for a new work, Breakeable. The divine icing on that fabulous cake was the reception to my work in three new venues: Barrie Spring Art Tour, London for a solo show Crush on Spring, and Midland for another solo show at Claustro Gallery.

This series of shows resulted in a thrilling yet rather startling success:

Within 72 days, 34 of my original sculpted paper paintings were collected into new homes. Of the 30 new works I had made this year just 2 came back to my studio.   

Admittedly, I am over the top about this. I could not be more honoured.

Ultimately this added up to a two thirds reduction in my personal inventory. A challenge to replenish! And with several of my large pieces collected it definitely will take some time to build up a new body of work.

Unfortunately, it does mean I have very very few new pieces for my 2 upcoming shows in August but I hope that most can be nearly as excited as I am for the work that will emerge for 2013.

To all my collectors, Thank you! I feel uniquely and deeply commended when you love my work enough to take it home with you, and utterly privileged to be a part of your art experience.
